Stay up to date with the changing needs of the health profession, and benefit from new research, technology and multi-disciplinary health care education. Lifestyle medicine is a relatively recent discipline that focuses on managing lifestyle-related health problems to prevent and reverse common chronic physical and mental health illnesses. Experience high-quality teaching and programs, with opportunities to engage with innovation and entrepreneurship in the health, community and industry spaces. Critically investigate and assess lifestyle-related disease, including diverse models of care. Throughout your course, you’ll learn to apply theories in psychological, medical, nutritional and addiction science in a variety of health contexts. Choose from electives in research, public health, business and health professional education to align with your career goals. Complete your studies with a capstone project, where you will apply your understanding of lifestyle medicine to an industry-related issue. Build your network with connections to high profile clinicians, researchers, industry experts and innovators in the field of lifestyle medicine. This flexible, online course takes three years to complete part-time. With studies indicating that the majority of chronic disease burden is preventable with lifestyle interventions, the demand for lifestyle medicine professionals is only increasing.

Graduates of JCU’s Master of Lifestyle Medicine will have the skills to consult and lead clinical and research programs in a variety of health care settings. This course provides qualifications to support careers in clinical practice, public health, research, teaching, consultation for health care systems, occupational programs, industry and community programs.
