Learn

Equip yourself with practical knowledge and skills to effectively incorporate lifestyle medicine interventions into their mental health care strategies. This includes understanding the bi-directional relationship between mental health and chronic diseases, implementing evidence-based lifestyle interventions, and inspiring innovative approaches to patient care. By addressing these key areas, the symposium aims to bridge the gap between current practice and best practice in mental health care within primary care settings.  

Additionally, the symposium will feature a culinary education experience, providing GPs with hands-on training in preparing nutritious meals, which they can then use to educate and motivate their patients in adopting healthier dietary habits as part of their mental health management plan.  

Please note: the symposium includes ASLMs AGM, which is not included in the EA or RP hours. Non-members may take an extra lunch break.
