Clinicians CHEF Coaching

Clinicians Culinary Health Education Fundamentals (CHEF) Coaching is an evidence-based program focused on culinary coaching. This is a novel approach to improve nutrition that combines culinary training, health coaching principles, and telemedicine tools and resources.

It is designed to train health care professionals and health and wellness coaches to deliver patient education emphasizing skills such as shopping, food storage, and meal preparation. The goal is to empower patients and clients to make more home-cooked food in less time and enjoy healthy changes in their lives.

This course is run in collaboration with the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at Harvard Medical School. For more information, including syllabi, CME availability and additional training options (live onsite, enduring material), visit their website.

Clinicians CHEF Coaching includes two modules: CHEF Coaching the Basics, and CHEF Coaching Beyond the Basics. Graduates of BOTH components earn a “Certificate of Completion in Culinary Coaching” from the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
