Medical residents at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, successfully taught high school students about lifestyle medicine. The curriculum, developed by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, included three in-person sessions. Although there were barriers such as student transportation and time constraints, the residents were able to engage the students and educate them on healthy lifestyles. To address these challenges, the team is considering providing certificates to incentivize student participation in the future. The presentation at the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s annual conference highlighted the effectiveness of introducing lifestyle medicine principles to underserved communities through medical resident-led education.
