Hannah Rosen Part 1 MF3 Gastroenterology and Nutrition
Tutorial

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition / Week 1

Objectives

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

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

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

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

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

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.
