Description
Group visits offer a tremendous opportunity to educate and empower patients to implement lifestyle behavior changes that support improved health outcomes. They are also an efficient use of provider resources as they allow similar interventions to be scaled beyond a one-on-one office visit. Group dynamics that include social support and knowledge sharing also enable increased levels of patient self-empowerment and efficacy. In this session, you will hear from seasoned healthcare providers who are effectively leveraging group visits to achieve better outcomes among diverse patient populations in various healthcare settings.
Learning Objectives
- Describe group visits in different settings including private practice, academic institutions, and hospital settings
- Distinguish the difference between the types of group visit models
- Identify essential components for running group visits in lifestyle medicine
- Summarize the benefits of applying lifestyle medicine in a group visit setting
- Identify a group visit model that may work to deploy lifestyle medicine in your practice

Jeffrey Geller, MD, the 2020 Massachusetts Family Physician of the year, is known for his innovations in primary health care.
