This webcast will discuss Physical Activity for Health. This program is meant to discuss the benefits of physical activity for patients. The program will begin with describing the recommended amount of physical activity and exercise. The presenters will also go through details of an exercise prescription. The bulk of the talk will focus on how physicians can approach the conversation of increasing physical activity during an appointment and use motivational interviewing techniques to engage patients in exercise.

In addition to winning multiple “Best Doctor” awards, she was also a competitive ballroom dancer and Zumba instructor.
