Nutrition is increasingly recognized as a critical component of disease prevention, treatment, and whole-person care, yet nutrition education remains limited across many health professions training programs. This 90-minute session will explore national efforts to strengthen nutrition education within medical and healthcare curricula and highlight the unique leadership role of registered dietitian nutritionists in advancing this work.
The session will begin with a presidential fireside chat featuring Academy President Tamara Randall and HHS Senior Advisor Sam Watters, who will discuss federal priorities, emerging opportunities, and the growing momentum to integrate nutrition more effectively into health professional education. A moderated panel will then feature Rayane AbuSabha, PhD, RD, Executive Director of ACEND, along with representatives from dietetics programs that have successfully partnered with medical schools to implement innovative educational models.
Speakers will share practical examples of interprofessional collaboration, curriculum integration, and academic partnerships that are preparing future healthcare providers to incorporate nutrition into patient care. Attendees will gain insights into how policy, accreditation, and cross-sector partnerships can accelerate progress and identify actionable strategies to strengthen nutrition education within their own institutions and professional settings.
