Uchee Pines Lifestyle Center hosted its Continuing Medical Education / Continuing Educational Units (CME/CEU) Conference for licensed healthcare professionals September 4-7, 2024. Attendees earned their medical education credits from Loma Linda University, which partners with Uchee Pines to offer the annual required credits. The conference provides reliable, scientific, evidence-based natural remedy therapies for acute and chronic lifestyle-induced diseases.
Healthcare professionals, and nonprofessionals interested in health and wellness through natural means, choose between online study and an entire immersive experience of lifestyle intervention education. Those who study onsite experience the therapeutic diet, the lifestyle center facilities, the benefits of a more natural lifestyle, and, best of all, the Christian environment of Seventh-day Adventist medical missionaries at Uchee Pines in Seale, Ala.
Sabbath services concluded the conference with special presentations related to medical missionary work and gospel ministry. The featured speaker was Eric Walsh, M.D., a practicing physician and health care administrator. A graduate of Loma Linda University, Walsh received his master’s degree and doctorate in public health.
“This was an amazing spiritual and academic experience that puts our patients first, and was very Christ centered. Such a blessing! And, as a Christian physician, I only wish more CME conferences were like this,” said Walsh.
Kaylene WeirCox, M.D., director of the conference and medical director at Uchee Pines, said, “Many of our colleagues currently practicing in hospitals and clinics across the nation know that, in 2023, three of the top five leading causes of death in the U.S. (heart disease, cancer, and cerebrovascular disease) according to the CDC are associated with lifestyle, and there is no debating that type 2 diabetes and hypertension are also related to lifestyle. So, we want to share the God-centered therapies and modalities, including natural remedies and lifestyle-based treatments that we have been using, and that are supported by scientific evidence for the treatment and reversal of many of these conditions.
“Our CME program is the brainchild of Irvin Davis, M.D., and Mark Sandoval, M.D., seven years ago; and, we continue to share our experiences of success in working with individuals suffering from various diseases by addressing the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.”
The next conference, scheduled for March 5-8, 2025, will cover these topics: Self-Esteem and Body Image in Women, Clinical Implications of Forgiveness, the Rise of Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults, A Lifestyle Approach to Chronic Kidney Disease, the Longevity Lifestyle, Nutrition Applications for Clinicians, Natural Immunomodulators, Sports Nutrition, Statins — Side Effects on Cardiovascular Health, Demystifying Dementia, Natural Cures for Prostate Cancer, and Multiple Sclerosis.
