FPMD G810 - Lifestyle Medicine (longitudinal component)


Credits: 4

This course is designed to give medical students exposure to Lifestyle Medicine, a hallmark of the USC-Greenville School of Medicine. This is an emerging field of medicine that uses lifestyle interventions in the prevention, treatment and management of disease. The student will learn from different resources within the Greenville community and understand how an interdisciplinary team (e.g. family physician, primary care sports medicine physician, nutritionist, exercise physiologist, physical therapist, etc.) can affect healthy changes in patients through physical activity prescriptions, healthy eating, motivational interviewing, and stress reduction. The student will apply these principles to patient care at the Center for Family Medicine.  The majority of the clerkship will take place during the rotation block. However, there will be a longitudinal component of a small patient panel, lifestyle medicine project, and community outreach.
