Purpose
Wellness matters! You are all training to become healthcare practitioners who will help patients stay well. However, many of you forget you must be healthy too. Health plays a key role in learning, and DMU provides students with many options for wellness and personal health.

Students will have an opportunity to discuss their diet and effects on their body and brains, as well as learn about some important elements of exercise in relation to learning and memory.
Objectives
- Discuss how wellness impacts learning and memory
- Collaborate on different elements of wellness
- Create a smart goal with an accountability partner for a wellness goal
