Description

Abstract:: Most US medical schools (86/121, 71%) fail to provide the recommended minimum 25 hours of nutrition education to students; 43 (36%) provide less than half of the recommended time. At AMS, students learn about nutrition through a lecture on vitamins and minerals and potentially through Dr. Flynn’s Food + Health preclinical elective. In years two and three, students touch on nutrition relevant to the system blocks, but there is no formal nutrition curriculum. This nutrition curriculum will provide students with the opportunity to revisit the basic nutritional concepts from first year, integrate these foundational ideas with clinical skills gained from second and third year, and thus help to create nutritionally competent clinicians.
Notes:: Medical Education
