The Culinary Medicine Interest Group

We are a student organization focused on bringing the kitchen to the clinic as a means of addressing the evolving landscape of disease prevention and management. The primary goal of our organization is to increase the number of future physicians with a foundation, understanding, and the necessary skills to deliver culturally competent, evidence-based integrated nutrition care to patients across all specialties.

We work towards this goal through: 

• Engaging speaker events with field leaders across specialties and health professions

• Virtual and in-person culinary and nutrition classes

• Clinical and medical education research

• Greater Westchester volunteer efforts

• Clinical shadowing and patient education 

• Community engagement
