Lifestyle Medicine 2017 Awards: ASLM Fellowship and Scientific Stream
We’re delighted to announce the next cohort of dedicated Lifestyle Medicine professionals who have been awarded the ASLM Fellowship. Some of these fine folk were able to join us at Lifestyle Medicine 2017 where they received their awards during our Sunday plenary session.

The ASLM Fellowship is arguably the first fully multidisciplinary fellowship in Australasia, open to all full members of the society – which means GPs and medical specialists, all other AHPRA registered practitioners, degree qualified allied health professionals, public health professionals, and researchers and educators in lifestyle medicine related fields. Being a multidisciplinary fellowship means it can be undertaken from a clinical, public health, research or education perspective.
The introduction of the ASLM Fellowship is accompanied by a grand-parenting period, during which time RPL provisions are more generous. Grand-parenting provisions will initially be available for the first two years of the ASLM Fellowship program unless further extended by the Board.
