Mission:
Mission:
To improve the understanding and utilization of healthy, nutritious foods among future medical professionals, patients, and community members. The Culinary Medicine Interest Group aims to engage in service-learning activities to empower students and community members to make smart choices about their diet through education in the culinary arts. Students will become authorities on healthy cooking through hands-on instruction, which will encourage them to prescribe food as medicine and effectively teach their patients to use food as a measure to prevent and treat chronic diseases.
