Mission
Motivate, excite, and inspire students and community members to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
Ideology
Inspired by the Osteopathic philosophy that the patient should be treated as a whole (body, mind, and spirit), we at FITdocs believe that the understanding and utilization of this philosophy in medicine is crucial for optimal healthcare. Outside of the formal medical school curriculum, medical students need to be experienced and knowledgeable in the role exercise, nutrition, stress, sleep, and the like play in one's health. In order to best accomplish this, FITdocs provides opportunities for busy medical students to get a hands-on educational appreciation of exercise, nutrition, and other healthy lifestyle interventions.
