Abstract

The incorporation of comprehensive nutrition education into medical education and training is essential for equipping physicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance patient health and outcomes. However, a deficiency in nutrition education persists in medical education, rendering physicians ill-prepared to address the vital role of nutrition in health and disease. This article summarizes the key themes and recommendations generated during the Summit on Medical Education in Nutrition, hosted in March 2023 by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in collaboration with American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and Association of American Medical Colleges.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 American Society for Nutrition.
