Nutritionists and other food- and nutrition-savvy folk have long decried how little doctors know about food, diet & nutrition. If you are concerned about nutrition education of doctors in general and in the teaching of nutrition in medical schools in particular, consider attending this conference. /as [http://email.nyas.org/includes/images/hdrs/SA_default_hdr10.gif]<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47902> [Visit the NYAS home page]<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47902> [Sign up for NYAS events]<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47902> [Check out the latest eBriefings]<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47903> [Browse the latest Annals volumes]<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47904> [Subscribe to NYAS Updates]<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47905> [http://email.nyas.org/includes/images/nav/sc/nav_fwd.gif] [http://www.nyas.org/image.axd?id=f0f8ac24-8d7a-44e9-afe5-704003d20035&t=634980780291800000] Thursday, June 6, 2013 | 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM Capacity Building in Nutrition Science: Revisiting the Curricula for Medical Professionals<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E198642A6431794B1C47906> The goal of this conference is to revisit the current curricula for medical doctors and relevant professionals, and to explore means to better train professionals to implement the array of preventative and therapeutic nutrition interventions through the health system. The questions this symposium will address include: is there a consensus on integrating basic and applied nutrition into the general curriculum and if so, at which stages of training and in what depth? What is the role of nutrition throughout medical specialties? What are current educational models and how do they address needs? This convening will review the current practices and their strength and weaknesses, showcase promising initiatives and propose new directions for training the future generation of medical practitioners.
