Diplomates
We invite you to join the growing number of physicians who have become Diplomates of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine.
Lifestyle medicine physicians become ABLM Diplomates by:
Completing a minimum of 30 hours of specific lifestyle medicine course CME
Gathering 20 hours of event CME by attending an approved event (which may be earned in-person or virtually, or a combination of the two, beginning in 2024 and onward)
Submitting a case study, documenting the positive impacts of lifestyle medicine intervention with an active patient (can be yourself)
Passing the certification exam
Patients can search for a lifestyle medicine certified provider by using this link: www.lmpros.org.
ABLM/IBLM co-certified Lifestyle Medicine physicians from the US must have and maintain primary ABMS board certification, while physicians from Canada must maintain their license to practice. Board certification in Lifestyle Medicine increases competency in your primary field of practice. Board certification is intended to ensure that physicians have attained a certain level of expertise and competency in their chosen field. Physicians are expected to practice within the scope of their primary board certification or medical licensure to ensure the delivery of high-quality care.
