Please be aware that post-nominals can only be granted by courses approved by a Registered Training Organisation in Australia. While certified physicians and professionals overseas sometimes use the post-nominals ‘DipLM’ (meaning ‘Diplomate’), this does not apply in the Australian context due to the strict requirements of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). The use of terms such as ‘Certificate’ and ‘Diploma’ and their abbreviations ‘Cert’ and ‘Dip’ are reserved for nationally accredited courses, which Board Certification is not. Therefore, to avoid potential confusion or misrepresentation, you are not permitted to use DipLM or any post-nominals related to your certification in Australia. We take credentialing and the presentation of credentials very seriously. However, you are allowed to describe your Accreditation in words (not as post-nominals) in your bio or email signature. For example, once graduated you may use: “ASLM Accredited Lifestyle Medicine Doctor (or Practitioner)” or “A Registered Nurse with a Special Interest in Lifestyle Medicine” or “ASLM Accredited Lifestyle Medicine Public Health Professional”– as appropriate to your existing healthcare qualifications and registration.
