  • Lifestyle Medicine
  • Medical Education
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • Exercise is crucial for chronic disease prevention and management.
  • Medical schools often lack comprehensive exercise education, leaving students unprepared for patient counseling.
  • Primary care physicians play a vital role in promoting healthy lifestyles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a service-learning program on medical students' exercise knowledge and counseling skills.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a curriculum designed to enhance exercise education in medical training.
  • To provide a replicable model for lifestyle medicine education in medical schools.

Main Methods:

  • Medical students participated in a service-learning program involving lectures and community-based exercise classes.
  • Students delivered bilingual (English/Spanish) presentations and led exercise sessions.
  • The program integrated faculty-led education with practical application.

Main Results:

  • Students reported increased knowledge of exercise principles.
  • Participants showed a higher predicted likelihood of counseling patients about exercise.
  • Students' confidence in providing exercise counseling and their intent to modify personal exercise habits significantly increased.

Conclusions:

  • The service-learning curriculum effectively improved medical students' preparedness for exercise counseling.
  • This program offers a successful model for integrating lifestyle medicine into medical education.
  • Enhancing exercise education can train more competent primary care physicians for chronic disease management.
