PodcastsThis week on Dr. Greg we continue to take an in-depth look at what and how today's medical students are learning. We usually expect our physicians to know just about everything about us and to give us advice on just about every topic. One area that has traditionally been lacking in medical education is nutritional aspects of patient care. A new gift account has been established in the UK College of Medicine Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences to expand nutrition education for health care professionals in training across the College of Medicine. The initiative, led by Sara Police, PhD, associate professor of pharmacology and nutritional sciences, aims to integrate more comprehensive, evidence-based nutrition content into medical education to better equip future physicians with the tools to address nutrition-related aspects of patient care. Sara talks about the project with Dr. Greg. -
