National Dairy Council Award for Excellence in Medical/Dental Nutrition Education Lecture, 1993: some early beginnings and what now?

FJ Stare
Department of Nutrition, Harvard University School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115.

In 1942 the Department of Nutrition was established at Harvard University jointly in the schools of public health and medicine. It continues to stimulate and expand the teaching of nutrition in these schools, as well as in the school of dental medicine and similar schools in other universities. Nutrition is so broadly involved in health and disease that it should be woven, in an organized fashion, into many of the standard courses in these and other health professional schools. A separate, more detailed course in nutrition may be made available for those who wish to learn more about nutrition. Exposing nutrition quackery and other types of nutrition misinformation should be part of any program in nutrition education, particularly in schools of medicine, public health, and dentistry. Stimulating the teaching of nutrition in schools for health professionals requires the enthusiastic support of the dean and faculty as well as adequate financial support.
