Abstract
As medical schools work to train the next generation of providers, including robust content in nutrition education is paramount. The National Academy of Sciences sets the benchmark for 25 hours of nutrition education in medical schools, though many schools do not meet this requirement. Usually, nutrition lectures in medical schools are given in the pre-clinical years and focus on biochemistry and micronutrients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a unique opportunity to quickly develop and implement an elective course for 3rd and 4th year medical students at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. A course was created in lifestyle medicine and culinary medicine, and all were delivered remotely through Zoom. This course would be simple to replicate at other institutions and was very well received. This article will describe more of the resources, methods, and reactions to this course.
