Nutrition Education in U.S. Medical Schools by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences,Food and Nutrition Board,Committee on Nutrition in Medical Education Pdf

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?

Nutrition Education in U.S. Medical Schools by Committee on Nutrition in Medical Education Pdf

Abstract: An authoritative report to aid medical school administrators in ensuring the adequacy of nutrition education (NE) in medical school curricula presents the findings of a national survey by a special committee of the US National Research Council that concluded that medical school NE programs are largely inadequate to meet present and future demands of the medical profession. The survey assessed the extent to which NE is incorporated in medical education, the prevalence of medical schools teaching nutrition, and the success and failure of NE programs provided in different categories of medical schools. The major findings and recommendations of the committee are highlighted, and an outline of NE core concepts that all medical schools should acquire is included. Ancillary documentation and survey questionnaires are provided in 7 appendices.

Integrative Cardiology by Stephen Devries,James E. Dalen Pdf

Integrative Cardiology is an exploration of a new and much-needed perspective in cardiac care: the intelligent synthesis of conventional medicine with alternative approaches not typically part of Western medical curriculum. More than a blending of two approaches, this new perspective in cardiology highlights specific gaps in conventional heart care, and examines how alternative approaches may be ideally suited to address these missed opportunities.Cardiology is an ideal specialty for an integrative approach. Heart disease is largely preventable. The influence of nutrition, physical activity, metabolic factors, and emotional state on heart health is unmistakable, and the wide-angle lens of integrative medicine is an ideal model to address these multi-faceted needs. Most importantly, the focus of this work is directed at prevention. The approaches described in this book emphasize collaboration of the patient and health care provider--both seeking to obtain the best possible outcome taking into account the intangible, but vital, nuances of the patient's culture, beliefs, and preferences.The first section in this book describes the core elements of integrative cardiology, beginning with nutrition. Foundational chapters that follow include exercise, botanicals, aspirin, metabolic cardiology, acupuncture, spirituality, mind/body approaches, and energy medicine. Contributing authors, all of whom have a background in academic medicine, share the approaches they have found most effective in their own practices, referencing their work with the best scientific evidence available.

The Role of Nutrition in Maintaining Health in the Nation's Elderly by Institute of Medicine,Food and Nutrition Board,Committee on Nutrition Services for Medicare Beneficiaries Pdf

Malnutrition and obesity are both common among Americans over age 65. There are also a host of other medical conditions from which older people and other Medicare beneficiaries suffer that could be improved with appropriate nutritional intervention. Despite that, access to a nutrition professional is very limited. Do nutrition services benefit older people in terms of morbidity, mortality, or quality of life? Which health professionals are best qualified to provide such services? What would be the cost to Medicare of such services? Would the cost be offset by reduced illness in this population? This book addresses these questions, provides recommendations for nutrition services for the elderly, and considers how the coverage policy should be approached and practiced. The book discusses the role of nutrition therapy in the management of a number of diseases. It also examines what the elderly receive in the way of nutrition services along the continuum of care settings and addresses the areas of expertise needed by health professionals to provide appropriate nutrition services and therapy.
