Project LEAN (Live, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition)

Catalog description

Project LEAN is a medical education and service elective, involving weekly health presentations on topics such as nutrition, exercise, and mental health. These presentations contain interactive activities, but will be given via Zoom this semester. The audience for the elective are primarily Latinx and Hispanic women in the St. Louis community, who participate in exercise and nutrition programming at the LifeWise center. This elective is lottery based and 8-weeks long. Traditionally 2-3 medical students present together with the help of undergraduate student translators. Medical students are able to decide the dates and times at which they would like to give the presentations.
