N2 - Objectives: In the fall of 2017, Fresh and Savory, a Culinary and Lifestyle Medicine Teaching Kitchen (TK) program proved systematically feasible as a Shared Medical Appointment (SMA). A portable TK complemented physician consultations, interactive didactic presentations, nutritious cooking, and mind-body exercises. A series of SMAs were launched to develop a system for physicians to address patients' nutritional and lifestyle needs. Interventions: MedStar Health implemented three TK SMA programs to improve patients culinary and lifestyle skills and improve relevant habits. Two cohorts were recruited from Internal Medicine and Cardiology (Internal Medicine/Cardiology I and II) and completed an 8-week program leveraging a culinary and lifestyle medicine curriculum. One cohort (Sports Performance) was held with young, elite athletes completing a 4-week program regarding athlete's nutrition and lifestyle. Feasibility was assessed through patient surveys, staff program operation assessments, and reimbursement. Results: Fifty-three unique patients attended SMA programs, 4-18 patients per weekly session; 223 appointments billed in 2018. E&M code 99213 was billed at
