NUTRITION PRINCIPLES IN THE MEDICAL SCHOOL CURRICULUM

描述(改编自摘要) 这个应用程序的总体目标是扩展营养 知识库和利用这些知识来预防 心脑血管疾病(CVD)通过学习经验为医学 学生、房屋工作人员、教职员工和执业医生。这个目标将是 通过五个主要目标实现：(1)将营养原则纳入 现有课程。(2)把预防心血管疾病作为营养和 练习是在课程中教授的。(3)对项目进行评估 通过改变认识(态度)、知识水平和 营养学原理的使用。(4)开发培训模块 与其他获奖者合作，向其他医学院传播 和制度。(5)推动营养学研究和 爱荷华大学的心血管疾病预防。战略以实现 实现这些目标包括交互式计算机模拟、交互式 与多学科团队的讨论，以营养为导向的案例研究， 为个人探索心血管疾病而设计的营养相关体验 风险因素及其诊断测试、食品示范(包括 民族低脂菜肴)，医学生午餐会，医学生 营养师跟踪，资助营养奖学金，研究生营养 和心血管疾病经验，以及涉及营养和心血管疾病的研究活动。 为了确定这些策略的有效性，有多种方法 将会被使用。

DESCRIPTION (adapted from abstract) The overall goal of this application is the expansion of the nutrition knowledge base and the use of that knowledge for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through learning experiences for medical students, house staff, faculty and practicing physicians. This goal will be met through five major aims: (1) To integrate nutrition principles into the existing curricula. (2) To focus on prevention of CVD as nutrition and exercise are taught within the curricula. (3) To assess program effectiveness through changes in awareness (attitudes), knowledge level and use of nutrition principles. (4) To develop training modules in collaboration with other Awardees for dissemination to other medical schools and institutions. (5) To promote research studies in nutrition and cardiovascular disease prevention at The University of Iowa. Strategies to accomplish these aims include interactive computer simulations, interactive discussions with a multidisciplinary team, nutrition-oriented case studies, nutrition related experiences designed to allow personal exploration of CVD risk factors and their diagnostic tests, food demonstrations (including ethnic low-fat cuisine), medical student luncheons, medical student dietitian shadowing, funded nutrition fellowships, post-graduate nutrition and CVD experiences, and research activities involving nutrition and CVD. To determine the effectiveness of these strategies a wide variety of methods will be used.
