This application for a new nutrition curriculum presents objectives and specific plans for: (1) development of a comprehensive, longitudinally integrated four year nutrition curriculum in the medical school that emphasizes knowledge, skills and attitudes; (2) development of a clinically relevant nutrition curriculum for education of faculty, house staff and practicing physicians; (3) mechanisms for evaluation of the curriculum; and (4) development of collaborative efforts in interchange of the teaching modules.
