Expanding JSLM Membership to Encompass the Professional Team

If you’re a physician, doctor, medical professional, healthcare executive or an individual in a profession that’s committed to helping advance the cause of Lifestyle Medicine, then we invite you to join us and become part of the movement to transform health and healthcare!

We are also welcoming the individuals who are not medical personnel or corporates/organizations to become our partners.

Members can receive discounts on participation fees at annual meetings, study workshops, journal clubs, exam preparation courses, etc.

Lifestyle medicine is a global network that promotes preventive medicine. There are also discounts for related academic societies overseas, so you can quickly learn information on non-communicable diseases in countries other than Japan. In addition, you can receive explanations in Japanese about the contents of the board certification review textbook (written in English), and you also can receive information of the past exams.
