Nutrition and Anti-inflammatory Module

Dear CAHCIM education members:

Steve Rosenzweig and I (Victoria Maizes, MD) are delighted to announce our new medical student Nutrition and Anti-inflammatory module. Funded by a grant from the Franklin Health Trust, this 3 hour learning module seeks to:

- Create an interactive resource that presents the rationale and evidence base for the anti-inflammatory diet.

- Prepare physicians in training to counsel patients effectively and guide appropriate diet change.

We are offering medical school and residency faculty the use of this program at no charge.
