Meaning Purpose and Spirituality Conference by ACLM
March 13 - March 15
This is a multidisciplinary convening regarding evidence and priorities at intersections between lifestyle medicine (LM) and meaning, purpose, and spirituality (MPS). Experts in psychology, positive psychology, and well-being will achieve meaningful agenda setting regarding these intersections and application in medical education, clinical practice, and research. The in-person convening will bring together a select audience of key stakeholders, including LM experts and health care innovators, to engage with panelists and help shape recommendations for integrating MPS across the LM health care continuum. Both the convening and the materials developed as outputs, including an accessible toolkit/roadmap for bringing MPS concepts into evidence-based LM education and practice, will serve the goal of making whole person and psychological determinants of LM practice and LM prescription adherence information accessible to practitioners.
