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

Enteral nutrition sustains the gastrointestinal flora and nourishes the individual.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

A basic understanding of the upper intake levels of nutrients to prevent adverse health effects.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Estimated Average Requirement (EAR)
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Adequate Intake (AI)
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

The study of the sites and specific processes for the digestion and absorption of nutrients will provide an understanding of the functional units of the gastrointestinal system (from chewing and salivation in the mouth through to fecal excretion of unabsorbed food components) and the integration of muscular and enteric nervous system in the coordination and regulation of digestive activities.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Knowledge of the normal processes are key to understanding the abnormalities that occur in nutritional status when disorder of neuromuscular disorders, infections, allergies or enzyme deficiencies (e.g., pancreatic enzymes in cystic fibrosis) or metabolism of nutrients is interrupted by endocrine abnormalities (e.g., insulin resistance in obesity), leading to altered nutritional homeostasis.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Familiarity with reference standards for growth in infants and children produced by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta in 2000 and adopted by Canadian health professional societies in 2003 as well as the World Health Organization Child (0-5 years) Growth Charts.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Investigation of the role of nutrition in disease prevention and treatment, students should explore the role of specific roles of bioactive nutrient and non-nutrient compounds and the potential for gene-nutrient interactions.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2

Describe the anatomy of the female breast as related to lactation.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Reproduction and Pregnancy

Explain the physiology of normal lactation and the benefits of breastfeeding.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Reproduction and Pregnancy

Upon completion of this problem, students will be able to describe the process of lactation and discuss the advantages and barriers to breastfeeding. Students will also be able to explain how disruptions in the normal flora can lead to Candidal infection.
Global Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Reproduction and Pregnancy

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 enteral digestion, absorption and metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Describe the steps of digestion and absorption and roles of the key organs of the alimentary tract in these processes.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Upon completion of this problem, students should have an understanding of fat, carbohydrate and protein requirements as well as the processes of digestion, absorption and metabolism of these macronutrients. The relationship between diet and growth and development in early childhood should be summarized.
Global Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Upon completion of this problem, students will be able to describe the physiology of the small intestine and discuss the pathophysiology of malabsorption.
Global 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

The Gastroenterology concepts include the physiology and pathophysiology of digestion, absorption and metabolism of macronutrients and micronutrients, the structure and function of the hepatobiliary system, gastrointestinal tract integrity and gastrointestinal autoimmunity. Additionally, these concepts provide an introduction to understanding the common disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and the hepatobiliary system. During this Foundation you will develop an understanding of the important elements of the structure and functional relationships in the gastrointestinal tract. By the end of the Foundation, you should have an understanding of the significance of the cardinal manifestations of gastrointestinal disorders.
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

Upon completion of this problem, students will understand vitamin D physiology, consequences of deficiency, and osteomalacia.
Global Objectives

Part 4 / Medical Foundation 4 / Musculoskeletal Medicine

Outline the differential diagnosis and initial evaluation of a child with failure to thrive.
