The University of Florida College of Medicine leads medical schools nationwide as an active participant in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ initiative to champion nutrition education for future physicians. As part of our comprehensive medical training, we bake nutrition education into all four years. From teaching required content on topics such as macro and micronutrients and screening for food insecurity to offering electives related to areas such as culinary medicine and food as medicine, we serve our students a menu of experiences and learning opportunities that meet or exceed the initiative’s recommendations for robust exposure to nutrition education in medical training.
