The Health Meets Food (HMF) Research team is now accepting applications for Faculty, Resident and/or Student Posters for the HMF Poster Session to be held as part of the 2027 Health Meets Food: The Culinary Medicine Conference.

Links to the posters with their abstracts will be maintained on the Culinary Medicine Specialist Board website at culinarymedicine.org.

This is an opportunity to showcase how your site has utilized Culinary Medicine in teaching and patient intervention and for others to learn of the outcomes in your location. Show attendees the many ways in which culinary medicine has been taught, appreciated and used in your patient and student population. Student submissions are highly encouraged.

Poster submissions will be peer-reviewed for academic content and interest by the HMF Research Committee. Judging methods will include evaluation of relevance of the study question, choice of methodology, soundness of results and conclusions, replicability, effectiveness of poster display, and importance of the contribution of work accomplished with regard to advancing the field of culinary medicine in education.

In addition to publication of your poster and abstract on the American College of Culinary Medicine website and the opportunity to present the work at the conference, all posters will be evaluated for the best 2027 contribution. The winner of this evaluation process will also receive free admission to the 2028 HMF Culinary Medicine Conference.
