Abstract: The field of health and wellness education in the public health presents unique challenges due to the need for effective frameworks that can help educators and healthcare providers facilitate the transfer of wellness concepts to clients for behavior modification and transformation for better health outcomes (Solhi et.al, 2020; Olsen, 2010). In response to this need, the FIRSTmed-ADLX (Focusing – Interacting – Reviewing – Sequencing – Transforming) (Active Deep learner eXperience) was developed as medical education, public health, and wellness sub-context of the successful FIRST-ADLX framework (Bahgat et al. 2018), This paper explores the compatibility and effectiveness of the model for public health and wellness education. The study adopts an exploratory mixed research method that combines qualitative by the template analysis technique using MAXQDA and quantitative for descriptive analysis using MS Excel.Findings include the unprecedented paradigm transformation expressed by healthcare providers and medical educators in their understanding of education and learning principles. The study revealed that participants' deep engagement and motivation, coupled with their perception of themselves as learners, greatly assisted them in enhancing their design and facilitation capabilities by applying the domains and principles of the model Wellness clients exhibited notable transformations in their learning experiences and personal behaviors, particularly in adopting healthier lifestyles and embracing wellness practices.Furthermore, the analysis has brought to light the notable impact of FIRSTmed-ADLX on the working culture within the IMC's (International Medical Center) wellness office results. This encompasses processes, internal language, and behavioral shifts, underscoring the substantial impact of the model.
