ASLM Fellowship
The Highest Professional Recognition in Lifestyle Medicine
The ASLM Fellowship is the highest accolade offered by the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine. It is a peer-recognised, multidisciplinary honour that acknowledges a high-level of expertise, professional development, and contribution to Lifestyle Medicine across clinical, research, education, and public health settings.
Fellowship is not a regulatory or academic qualification. Rather, it represents career achievement, and a shared commitment to improving health through Lifestyle Medicine.
Who can apply?
Eligible applicants include:
- Practitioner Members of ASLM with:
- A MBBS degree, Bachelor or higher in a health-related field
- At least three years of clinical experience
- Appropriate registration or affiliation within your discipline
- General Members who have made outstanding contributions to Lifestyle Medicine in:
- Public health
- Research
- Education
- Community program delivery
- These applications are reviewed individually by ASLM’s Education Advisory Committee.
(General members are assessed on a case-by-case basis by our Education Advisory Committee)
