Health meets Food
The Culinary Medicine Conference 2021
June 4 – June 6, 2021 • Virtual Event
Register here » Health meets Food Conference
The Culinary Medicine Specialist Board is pleased to announce the 7th annual Health meets Food: The Culinary Medicine Conference.
Our Keynote Speaker this year is Dr. Marion Nestle. Dr. Nestle is the Paulette Goddard Professor, of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, at New York University, which she chaired from 1988-2003 and from which she officially retired in September 2017. Her blog Food Politics explores the food, the food industry, politics and policy.
This year’s conference will offer a combination of hands-on cooking modules focused on helping transform the clinical experience, culinary skills-building sessions, evidence-based presentations and panel discussions.
The conference will take place June 4 through June 6, 2020 online using a virtual conference platform that will allow for the full conference experience. The overarching theme of this year’s conference is culture change: how do we help change attitudes about food and health amongst our patients, colleagues and policy makers.
