The training emphasizes advice and techniques for addressing lifestyle behavior change for in-person treatment or via Telehealth. It concludes with strategies for billing, coding, and how to build a lifestyle medicine practice. By the end of this course, you will be armed with tools to create lifestyle interventions and programs for any patient.
