Patient care under nutritional aspects is becoming more and more important in clinics and practices and is becoming increasingly relevant for the general welfare from year to year. Diseases related to nutrition are becoming more and more common and require profound advisory skills in the field of nutritional medicine from medical practitioners of all disciplines. This know-how is imparted to you in our advanced training course "Culinary Medicine", taking into account the current curriculum of the German Medical Association and the German Society for Nutritional Medicine.
The optional advanced training module Culinary Medicine represents a new method of translating the findings of nutritional medicine into the living environments of patients and thus optimising the success of the counselling process. To this end, Culinary Medicine combines nutritional medicine, nutritional science and psychology with practical culinary arts. The teaching format is an indication-based cooking course based on the evidence-based guideline Nutrition Therapy in Clinic and Practice (LEKuP, Hauner et al. 2019).
US studies show that doctors who are trained in Culinary Medicine advise their patients much more frequently and better on nutritional topics. This is achieved through a stronger connection to the living environment (recipes, shopping, cooking, shared meals, etc.) in medical counselling: interprofessional cooperation in nutrition teams is also improved. The new teaching format thus synergistically complements nutritional medicine by training essential practical counselling skills.
Doctors will have the opportunity to take an innovative Culinary Medicine course from 2022.
The course is conducted by PD Dr. med. Ellrott and his team, who introduced the new subject in Germany(https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culinary_Medicine). The course days each conclude with a communal meal.
