Nutrition has been traditionally taught in medical schools with emphasis on clinical management of disease states with modified diets. However, the science of nutrition can no longer be considered only in terms of the diagnosis and treatment of nutritional deficiency diseases. Prevention of disease-care rather than cure-must be emphasized. Using the nutrition concepts that evolved from the 1972 Williamsburg Conference encompassing the science and the sociology of nutrition, the author offers a proposal for action-a sequential nutrition curriculum design for years, I, II, and III of undergraduate medical education based on the experiences of the Nutrition Division, Department of Community Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine-City University of New York.
传统上，医学院校讲授营养学主要侧重于通过调整饮食对疾病状态进行临床管理。然而，营养学这门科学不能再仅仅从营养缺乏疾病的诊断和治疗角度来考虑了。必须强调疾病的预防——保健而非治疗。作者运用从1972年威廉斯堡会议发展而来的营养学概念，这些概念涵盖了营养学的科学和社会学，基于纽约市立大学西奈山医学院社区医学系营养科的经验，提出了一项行动建议——本科医学教育一、二、三年级连续的营养课程设计。
