Additional Course Details


Description: Part of the Lifestyle Medicine Core Competencies program, this topic module contains two units.

    This Tobacco Cessation module provides a review of the literature about the health effects of tobacco use and the benefits of tobacco cessation. More importantly, it describes effective, evidence-based treatment strategies and discusses ways to integrate the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) cessation guidelines into your practices. The course shares ways to apply intervention strategies to effectively assist your patients with smoking cessation. There will be a brief overview of current pharmacotherapy recommendations for tobacco cessation and how to best integrate these recommendations with ongoing behavioral interventions. For the segment of your patient population that is unwilling to stop using tobacco products, motivational interviewing techniques will be described with sample cases provided. 


    Learning Objectives:
    Incorporating tobacco cessation assessment and intervention into your practice is a key step toward practicing lifestyle medicine. Many tobacco cessation strategies revolve around lifestyle changes of your patients. Your increased knowledge and competence about tobacco cessation will help with better diagnosis and treatment options for improved health for your patients.
