Asheville Family Medicine Residency
Our Lifestyle Medicine Residency Curriculum, the first in North Carolina, builds on MAHEC’s tradition of delivering innovative medical education and whole-person care. It also takes advantage of Asheville’s abundance of outdoor sports and recreation, parks and greenways, local farms, and wellness practices.
Lifestyle medicine focuses on six key areas:
This evidence-based approach provides physicians with powerful tools to partner with patients to improve overall health and well-being. By preventing, treating, and even reversing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, lifestyle medicine can make a significant impact on health and well-being across the lifespan.
All MAHEC residents are eligible to participate in the LMRC and have the opportunity to become board eligible in Lifestyle Medicine if they so desire. Upon completion of the curriculum, residents will qualify to sit for the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine certification exam after graduation.
Our Lifestyle Medicine Residency Curriculum continues to shape physicians who are committed to delivering evidence-based, whole-person care across Western North Carolina and beyond. Each graduate carries forward MAHEC’s tradition of innovation, prevention-focused practice, and compassion-centered healthcare. Their work strengthens communities and expands access to lifestyle medicine throughout our region.
Many MAHEC residents participate in the Lifestyle Medicine curriculum during their training, gaining essential skills in prevention-focused care. The individuals listed below represent those who elected to continue their training beyond the core curriculum and successfully earned certification through the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine.
