Yes, to pass the AALM program all learners are required to have accumulated 10 in-person CPD hours. At present, this requirement can only be satisfied via attendance at the ASLM Annual Conference.

(Please note AALM enrollees receive discounted conference ticket price, regardless of date of purchase)

If you attended either LM2022 (Cairns) or LM2023 (Melbourne) in-person, then this will count towards your in-person learning requirement.

No. The course materials have been designed and written with an AU/NZ audience in mind, as have the related assessments. Whilst there is a lot of commonality between the two courses, the AALM content will need to be studied to ensure the best opportunity to complete the program successfully.

No. The nature of the AALM program is that of a spiral, whereby further content becomes available once you have passed the assessment of the content you have been studying. All learners will start with “Lifestyle Medicine: A Foundation Course” and upon passing the assessment for this module will then have access to the individual pillar courses. This is similar in principle to University learning.

Yes. You can pay by monthly installments over four months. Please enrol via the “enrol now (pay by instalments)” button above.

No. Your Board Certification remains valid with ASLM via our Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program.

The ASLM Accreditation (AALM) is an additional option to gain credentials in Lifestyle Medicine education and continue your professional development.

If you wish to develop your Lifestyle Medicine expertise further with curriculum that aligns to the Australian and New Zealand healthcare models and systems you may choose to add on our Articulation Course. 

If you have already passed Board Certification we have designed an Articulation Course to recognise your considerable expertise gained already. We acknowledge there may be some crossover of content, such as the foundations and 6 pillars so have offered the AALM at a significantly reduced price. You’ll get access to all of the ASLM Accreditation content, however, only be required to complete the assessment/s for areas not already covered by completing Board Certification.

Both Board Certification and ASLM Accreditation will share the same MOC program, so you would only complete MOC once per year as you already do.

Should you wish to add on this further learning please enrol into our Articulation Course using the “Enrol now (Already Board Certified)” button above.

No, the AALM recognises that evidence-based learning theories indicate that adult learners have a preference for constructing knowledge in a self-directed and collaborative manner. They also prefer to apply this knowledge to their individual cultural, societal, and clinical contexts.

As a result, we have developed written assessments that can be applied to each clinician’s unique interests and patient outcomes, among other factors.

Yes. AALM provides a clear pathway to Fellowship for those who wish to obtain their education directly with ASLM.

AALM contributes one-third (480/1440) of the points, and competency in the Foundations Domain required for Fellowship. 

Learners can start at any point of the year and work at their own pace. You have a maximum period of 30 months to complete and a reminder that pre-requisites, like in-person attendance must be within that 30 months period.

In accordance with international standards, health care professionals must recertify in a chosen field every 10 years. The maintenance of certification program was created as an alternative to that. Failure to join or adhere to the requirements would mean you must repeat the accreditation in 10 years.

Those with a primary medical degree or primary healthcare degree are eligible to sign up. We recognise that some careers follow non-standard routes. If you do not fit one of these categories but are still interested in studying then please contact us directly to discuss eligibility.

Please contact to request a tax invoice. Once payment has been received you will be enrolled onto the program.

No, ASLM Fellows are not required to complete the Accreditation. Fellowship signifies that you are already practicing at an advanced level and have been honoured with our highest accolade. The Accreditation, on the other hand, offers a structured pathway to Fellowship for those seeking to attain their Foundations domain through ASLM education. However, it’s worth noting that some Fellows have opted to undertake the Accreditation as a means of maintaining their professional development or acquiring CPD hours with their respective associations.

Yes. If you decided to defer your IBLM Board Certification then your Certification payment and/or LMBRC course purchase (evidence required) can be redeemed against joining the AALM program. Contact to discuss.
