Capacity Building in Nutrition Science: Revisiting the Curricula for Medical Professionals
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.
