American College of Preventive Medicine releases lifestyle medicine literature review
Date:8/26/2009

cine are foundational to health promotion, disease prevention and chronic disease management. Yet we believe this is the first time that a comprehensive group of physician stakeholders has met to determine what it is that physicians in primary care practice should know about this vital aspect of modern medicine," says ACPM President Mark B. Johnson, MD, MPH, FACPM.

The panel includes representatives from ACPM, the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Physicians, American Medical Association, American Osteopathic Association, American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and American College of Sports Medicine. The effort was made possible by grants from Lifestyle Center of America and Procter & Gamble.
