Welcome to our new members!
As a follow-up to our successful series on faculty and student wellness and resiliency and as a prelude to our annual meeting integrating nutrition and wellness education in teaching the health sciences, the 2018 Spring IAMSE Web Seminar Series focused on specific examples of how schools have implemented programs to address these issues. The first session featured presentations by Angela Cheung from the University of Toronto and Maryam Hamadi from Stanford who described the current status of physician nutrition, barriers to healthy eating by physician training and practice, and suggestions for awareness recognition of the importance of proper nutrition in the wellness of physicians. The second session was presented by Nicholas Pennings from Campbell University and highlighted, from a practical standpoint, how a new osteopathic medical school implemented a longitudinal nutrition theme focused on obesity. The third session, presented by Sian Cotton, provided a detailed description of a highly successful center for the promotion of integrative health and wellness at the University of Cincinnati. The fourth session featured another paired presentation by John Yoon from the University of Chicago and Tania Jenkins from Temple who examined research focused on the moral and spiritual development of students over-time, conducted as part of the of the “Good Physician Project.” The series concluded with a presentation by Joe Shapiro from Beth Israel on promotion of student wellness using peer-support groups.
