CALL FOR APPLICATIONS:

CONVENING ON BEST PRACTICES
IN MEDICAL NUTRITION EDUCATION

Application Deadline: November 15, 2025

Dates: April 28-29, 2026
Location: AAMC Headquarters
655 K Street NW, Washington, D.C.

Nutrition is fundamental to health, yet poor dietary habits remain a leading cause of chronic disease. Physicians are uniquely positioned to help reduce public confusion and guide patients toward healthier choices, but nutrition must be further prioritized in medical training. Following a 2023 Summit on Medical Education in Nutrition, an expert panel published a Consensus Statement in JAMA Network Open on Proposed Nutrition Education Competencies for inclusion in undergraduate and graduate medical education programs. This Convening is being held to identify effective strategies to teach and assess these competencies in medical education settings.

We invite medical educators to apply to present their respective ‘best practices’ involving teaching and evaluation of the proposed nutrition competencies.

Selected strategies will be presented and discussed at a Convening on Best Practices organized by the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative, hosted by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and with the active participation of NBME.

If you are interested in applying to present at this Convening,
please submit an application by November 15, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET.

Supported by funding from the Vitamix Foundation, Ardmore Institute of Health and Novo Nordisk US
