  • Engaging in outreach and community activities that inform the public about longevity medicine, prevention, and healthspan.
• Program Advancement
  • Contributing to the evolution and improvement of the longevity program by providing feedback, quality improvement, and staying up to date on the latest medical research.
  • Collaborating with the management team to set goals, track outcomes, and ensure the program's success and growth.
• Behavioural Change Implementation
  • Understanding the underlying principles of behaviour change and work collaboratively with patients to facilitate adherence to health behaviours.
  • Providing guidance on stress management, substance use, and other factors influencing healthspan.
