Imagine 食物 as medicine

Culinary medicine is an emerging field that incorporates current research on healthful 食物s, 营养, and cooking into the practice of medicine, in order to promote health and wellness and to assist with the prevention and treatment of chronic health conditions.

The Culinary Medicine Program, an initiative within the Department of Medicine, aims to promote health and wellness through 食物. The Culinary Medicine Program brings together clinical, academic and community 营养 and culinary initiatives to create a cohesive vision for the future of 食物 as medicine.

The Culinary Medicine Program team includes chefs, physicians, clinical staff, and dietitians.

By offering 营养 and culinary programs to medical staff, 病人, and community members, the program aims to provide innovative approaches to improving health while establishing an evidence base for culinary programs both regionally and nationally.
