Lifestyle medicine (LM) is an emerging specialty that is gaining momentum and support from around the world. The American Medical Association passed a resolution to support incorporating LM curricula in medical schools in 2017. Since then, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine Undergraduate Medical Education Task Force has created a framework for incorporating LM into medical school curricula. This article provides competencies for medical school LM curriculum implementation and illustrates how they relate to the Association of American Medical College’s Core Entrustable Professional Activities and the LM Certification Competencies from the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. Finally, standards are presented for how medical schools may receive certification for integrating LM into their curriculum and how medical students can work toward becoming board certified in LM through an educational pathway.

As medical education has become something of a buyer's market, a Midwest medical school and a Texas university are resorting to advertising for students. The Medical College of Ohio in Toledo has taken out ads in 23 Ohio college newspapers urging premed students to consider applying. Meanwhile, the University of Texas System, in a broader appeal, is running TV ads urging young Texans to choose health careers. University of Texas officials hope their ad campaign will help stem a decline in enrollments in the state's medical and related schools, the same trend observed nationally for the past 15 years. Medical-school enrollments declined 37% nationwide between 1974 and 1988, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
