Mandate Nutrition Curriculum in Medical Education
Tie NIH grants to implementation of nutrition education.
What’s Broken
Most doctors receive less than 10 hours of nutrition education.
The Fix
Federal initiative embedding nutrition into medical, nursing, allied health education.
How to Take Action
- President can issue Executive Order directing HHS/NIH
- Require curriculum for NIH grant eligibility
- Reimburse nutrition visits and integrate into EHRs
- Support Rep. Vern Buchanan and Rep. Jim McGovern
