Culinary and Foodservice Programs
Over 55 medical schools, residency programs, and nursing schools have adopted the Health meets Food Culinary Medicine curriculum. Now a similar program is available for foodservice professionals: the Certified Culinary Medicine Professional.
Chefs and foodservice professionals are perfectly positioned to play a central role in changing the way Americans eat. Yet many foodservice professionals feel their nutrition education and ability to create great food that is not only healthy but cost-conscious is lacking.
The Certified Culinary Medicine Professional (CCMP) program provides foodservice professionals at any level with a unique combination of nutritional knowledge and improved healthy culinary skills so that they can effectively incorporate healthy options into menus to help consumers.
