Nutrition Components of Pathophysiology
A number of underlying mechanisms in the development of different diseases
are rooted in nutritional issues. Examples of such diseases are Diabetes
mellitus, Coronary Heart Disease, and some anemias. At present, the Nutrition
theme leaders are collaborating with the Section Leaders in the Pathophysiology
course and with the Curriculum committee to identify opportunities to
explicitly integrate a discussion of nutrition into relevant units, syllabi
and case discussions. In addition, there is a commitment to provide resources
to support links to other sites with similar case information. As an example,
see CASES in the Nutrition Tools box on the Nutrition home page.
Students with ideas or suggestions for new content are encouraged to
contact Dr. Lars Berglund or Dr. Christine Williams.
