Educational Policy Council
Nutrition Subcommittee
At the recent EPC retreat, a
recommendation was made to convene a Nutrition Curriculum
Subcommittee. The EPC recognizes the need for formal
instruction in topics in nutrition and integration of such
information with the rest of the curriculum. Dr. Susan Hingle
will be the Chair of this committee and will convene the
meetings. Dr. Hingle has provided an article for initial
discussion, the link for which can be found at the bottom of the
page.
CHARGE:
The
subcommittee will convene in August or September 2007 and
will provide quarterly reports to the EPC. The EPC will
determine when the final report is due, and expects that the
committee work may continue into 2008. The number and
content of the meetings are at the discretion of the chair
of the committee.
The
committee’s work should be wide-ranging and creative. It is
expected that the current curricular elements related to
nutrition be analyzed, and that the committee make
recommendations for curricular change (including deletions,
additions, reorganization, philosophical changes, etc). The
EPC also has interest in ways in which education in
nutrition can be integrated effectively into the current
curricular structure. Thus, it is expected that the
committee will consider all four years of the curriculum,
including longitudinal segments (streamers) and the various
examinations.
