We, the patients, want to urge the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) to establish change in medical education by making exercise curriculum a national standard for all LCME accredited medical schools by 2020. Exercise has been shown to delay the onset of chronic illnesses, improve quality of life, protect against injury, abbreviate recovery time, improve mood, and increase longevity. We look to our physicians for guidance in realizing these benefits.

What a great idea
When I was 15-years-old, I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly proportioned I would need twenty-inch arms to match the rest of me.
Hallelujah
This is long overdue.

As a health care practitioner working in rehabilitation of chronic diseases, I'm always disjointed by the lack of education and encouragement from MDs to their patients on lifestyle changes that impact their disease.
