Abstrakt:	The practice of Lifestyle medicine (LM) focuses on helping patients make healthy choices to prevent and treat disease. While such interventions are considered first-line treatment for many diseases, many medical schools have not yet been able to include lifestyle medicine classes in the core curriculum but most are able to offer a parallel curriculum that does not interfere with the schedule of core classes. Lifestyle Medicine Interest Groups (LMIGs) are being created around the country and around the globe. Many students and faculty members are interested in starting and sustaining a LMIG at their schools, but some do not have enough funding or they lack the framework that provides structure to their efforts. To address this situation, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has encouraged the development of LMIGs, which are student-run organizations that provide a parallel curriculum in LM. To support and strengthen this effort, the ACLM initiated the Donald A. Pegg award to fund four allied health students in founding and augmenting their institution's LMIGs. The 2016 inaugural winners were James Gardner, P. Elainee Poling, Alyssa Abreu, and Jessie M. Hipple. Their LMIG activities have included events such as nutrition and cooking classes, exercise prescription seminars, group fitness sessions, and patient lifestyle counseling in various clinical settings. Pearls of wisdom for building successful LMIGs include cultivating strong faculty mentorship, marketing the personal benefits to students who attend activities, and collaborating with other student groups.
