  • To assess the effectiveness of the intervention in preparing students for patient chronic disease management.
  • To determine if students' confidence and skills in lifestyle counseling improve.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to first- and second-year Harvard Medical School students before and after a lifestyle medicine presentation.
  • Knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to behavioral change and patient counseling were quantified.
  • The study design involved pre- and post-intervention assessments.

Main Results:

  • Students acquired foundational knowledge of behavioral change principles after a 1-hour presentation.
  • Confidence in counseling patients on lifestyle modifications significantly increased.
  • Improved ability to counsel on exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and smoking cessation was observed.

Conclusions:

  • A concise lifestyle medicine intervention can enhance medical students' understanding of behavioral management.
  • Students can effectively learn and apply skills for managing patients with chronic illnesses.
