摘要

Nutrition affects overall health, but comprehensive nutrition education is currently under-taught in medical schools. Even when available, nutrition courses rarely include global cultural perspectives. This paper describes a novel online, international, and interactive elective course for senior medical students to learn and review fundamental nutrition topics in cross-cultural contexts. From March to April 2023, students participated in synchronous large-group lectures and asynchronous small-group discussions with peers from across the world. Students demonstrated content-level knowledge and reported greater awareness of nutrition-related cultural perspectives. Thus, students were introduced to multiple dimensions of medicine crucial for holistic patient care but currently rarely combined in traditional curricula.
