Objectives

Describe food security as a social and biological determinant of health.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Introduction to Medicine

Analyze food access as a determinant of health using geo-spatial and epidemiological methods to see if disparities exist across our distributed sites.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Introduction to Medicine

Understand the interactions between income, access, nutritional status and knowledge by exploring case-based patient scenarios.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Introduction to Medicine

To practice nutrition in medicine, it is essential to have a basic understanding of the biochemistry, physiology and pathophysiology of nutrients, the derivation and sources of recommended daily nutrient intakes (called Dietary Reference Intakes in Canada and the USA) and approaches to nutritional assessment. Many nutrients may have adverse effects if overconsumed – thus “more is not always better” - so there recommended upper intake levels of some nutrients have been set to prevent adverse health effects. The recommended ranges of intakes of essential nutrients are part of the Dietary Reference Intakes.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Describe the nutrient-based dietary standard for Canada and the USA known as the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs).
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Explain the application of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) in clinical practice, become aware of age-specific nutrient recommendations including the tolerable upper limit (TUL), acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR), and understand where these may be modified during growth, and special physiological states such as infancy, adolescence and high intensity exercise.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Describe an approach to determining nutritional status. This should include assessment of growth, body composition and biochemical measures of nutritional adequacy.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Use reference standards for growth to assess over and under nutrition based on percentile for weight, height and body mass index (BMI).
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Describe the role of diet in the pathophysiology of disease and the therapeutic benefits of specific nutrients and dietary practices.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Explore the role and safety of dietary supplements, and the application and regulation of health claims on food and supplement labels in relation to specific diseases.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Describe the role of foods and nutrients in the prevention and management of chronic disease, with a focus on type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

During the past decade, rapid expansion in a number of relevant scientific fields and, in particular, in the amount of population-based epidemiological evidence has helped to clarify the role of diet in preventing and controlling morbidity and premature mortality resulting from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Dietary practices likely play a major role in 7/10 top causes of disease and death including: heart disease, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and certain cancers. The mechanisms of the chronic disease process are clearer, and interventions have been demonstrated to reduce risk. In MF3, the overall objective is to learn normal nutrition and metabolism and to begin to understand the role of diet and specific nutrients and bioactive components of foods in disease prevention and treatment, and some of the major research that underlies dietary recommendations.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Upon completion of this problem, students are expected to describe the key developmental milestones of the peri-pubertal stage and the nutritional requirements of the adolescent and the impact of extreme lifestyle behaviours on growth and nutritional health of adolescents. Students will describe common presentations of eating disorders.
Global Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Endocrinology

Describe the interplay between nutrition and endocrine disease.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Endocrinology

Nutrition and exercise (Management of climacteric)
