LMWC Graduate Scope of Practice: Legal Status and Professional Responsibilities OVERVIEW
Read the full disclaimer and scope of practice here.
The Lifestyle Medicine WORKS (LMWC) Certification, awarded by Lifestyle Prescriptions® University, documents professional education and training in evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine and health behavior-change strategies, based on the 89 Lifestyle Medicine Core Competencies (2025).
LMWC is an educational certification, not a government-issued healthcare license. It does not independently authorize medical practice, confer additional clinical privileges, or expand a graduate's legally permitted scope of practice.
Licensed healthcare professionals may integrate Lifestyle Medicine interventions into their existing practice, provided these activities fall within their professional license, demonstrated competence, and applicable laws.
Nonlicensed graduates may provide general lifestyle education, wellness support, and health coaching where legally permitted. They may not independently diagnose or treat medical conditions, prescribe or modify medications, or perform other regulated clinical activities without appropriate legal authorization.
LMWC certification is distinct from independent ABLM, IBLM, and ACLM board certifications. Eligible graduates may pursue the applicable certification pathway and sit for the board exam. Neither LMWC nor independent board certification replaces professional licensure or grants unrestricted clinical practice rights.
All graduates must accurately represent their qualifications, protect client safety, make appropriate referrals, and comply with applicable professional, ethical, and regulatory requirements.
Students and graduates must acknowledge and comply with the full LPU Graduate Scope of Practice and Professional Responsibility Policy here.
