As the general public has become more aware of advances in nutrition, consumer demands for advice on matters of diet and disease have grown. This book offers recommendations to upgrade what were found to be largely inadequate nutrition programs in U.S. medical schools in order that health professionals be better qualified to advise and treat their patients. A comprehensive study of one-third of American 4-year undergraduate medical schools provided information on the current status of nutrition programs at each school. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made from analysis of this gathered information. Questions examined in this volume include: Has medical education kept pace with advances in nutrition science? Are medical students equipped to convey sound nutritional advice to their patients? What strategies are needed to initiate and sustain adequate teaching of nutrition in medical schools?

Abstract: The program is committed to improvement of individuals' nutritional well-being through education. Learning about food and its effect on health can be interdisciplinary. The biological, social, and psychological factors that influence food choices have impact on food habits. The individual learns to control the quality of health and well-being through nutrition education. Behavior change in nutrition habits results from learning proper nutrition. Reinforcement is necessary from the total environment; the education effort is the responsibility of the home, school, and community. Schools assume leadership in nutrition education through teachers, available facilities, and guidance programs. All school teaching, administrative, and foodservice staff assist in nutrition education through: 1) learning basic nutrition principles; 2) linking theory and practice; 3) developing a partnership approach within the school to increase participation. References and resources are noted to increase awareness of teaching aids.
