About the ASLM Fellowship

Are you a GP, specialist, public health professional, allied health practitioner, health researcher or academic? Do you have education or training in nutrition, exercise science, behaviour change, chronic disease management, health policy, or other experience in Lifestyle Medicine?

The ASLM Fellowship is the first fully multidisciplinary fellowship in Australasia, currently in its grand-parenting period. During the grand-parenting period, recognition of prior learning (RPL) provisions are more generous.

We also extend our congratulations to the recipients of the Best Oral Abstract and Best Poster Presentation in the scientific stream at Lifestyle Medicine 2019.

Best Oral Presentation was awarded to Meghan Hockey for her work, “Is dairy consumption associated with depressive symptoms or disorders in adults? A systematic review of observational studies”, and Best Poster Presentation was awarded to Ann George for her work, “Investigating the modulators of health behaviour change using the novel AUT Stroke RISKOMETER application“.
