Nutrition education for medical undergraduates Available to Purchase

In the past medical undergraduates have received nutrition education piecemeal – as part of courses in biochemistry,pharmacology, physiology, gastroenterology, etc. In clinical medicine doctors need to show understanding of nutrition in the following areas:diseases caused by unsuitable diet; nutrition in groups with special needs; and public health nutrition. A recent innovation is the allotment of seven teaching days at the end of the preclinical courses to nutrition, and the inclusion of a nutrition section in the second MB exam.
