Core Accreditation Funding
Are you thinking of embarking on the Lifestyle Medicine Core Accreditation but looking to have this funded?
We have built our qualification in Lifestyle Medicine – our BSLM Core Accreditation – has been written with a UK/European audience in mind, yet available globally, and we now have variations of the course that apply to anyone – Physicians, HCPs and even just for personal development!
It has been designed to appeal to those who want to gain an in-depth knowledge of LM and also learn the practical skills which will enable LM delivery. It is an interactive, immersive programme through our state-of-the-art learning management system, so can be completed anywhere, any time!
It consists of online theoretical and practice content, in-person CPD (through BSLM’s annual conference) and assessments to provide learners with the attitudes and theoretical knowledge behind Lifestyle Medicine. It builds on that foundation with the practical skills to enable Lifestyle Medicine theory to be used in work and personal life.
What can you get from doing our Core Accreditation, and being a Certified Lifestyle Medicine Professional, but also to highlight in your application?
- Learn Attitudes with the Foundations of Lifestyle Medicine
- Develop Your Knowledge, with In-Depth Learning About the Six Pillars
