Nutrition in Medical Education: Enhancing the Curriculum
The Nutrition Academic Award (NAA) was created by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to encourage development or enhancement of medical school curricula to teach nutrition principles and clinical practice skills with an emphasis on preventing cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. A second objective was to provide a curricular guide, training modules, and other teaching and assessment tools for dissemination to other medical schools as well as other health care professional schools.
