Abstract
There is a documented substantial gap between the level of nutrition education for
medical trainees and the need to provide nutrition counseling. Culinary medicine offers
a solution, but there are multiple barriers and no guides to implementation. This
article identifies core components and strategies to overcome barriers on the basis
of experiences of multiple institutions. The outline forms a foundation to be built
upon by future collaborators to empower more widespread implementation of culinary
medicine education and improve medical nutrition education and ultimately, patient
outcomes.
