Abstract
Open AccessTo advance the integration of lifestyle medicine into clinical settings, continuing medical education (CME) for practicing clinicians must be designed using evidence-based educational frameworks that align with adult learning principles. This article reviews foundational curriculum development models in medical education, defines instructional approaches, and highlights their core features. Successful implementation of lifestyle medicine interventions into routine clinical practice requires a strategic approach towards CME efforts.
