Food is medicine. This course aims to educate health professionals about dietary choices and principles of healthy nutrition while empowering them with the skills and tools to manage and prevent major chronic diseases in their patients and themselves. The focus will be on non-infectious chronic diseases with particular attention to socioeconomic and cultural competence and practical applications. The day will begin with lectures by physician experts highlighting the evidence for dietary guidelines on major cardiovascular and metabolic diseases followed by a hands-on interactive cooking experience for participants with Vetri Community Partnership chefs and dieticians using the principles discussed in the didactics. At the end of the day, there will be a panel discussion focused on practical applications to implement culinary medicine into clinical practice. This activity is designed for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with chronic diseases.
