15. Medical Students Nutrition Research Part 2: Student perceptions & Community Initiatives

**DISCLAIMER: Please note that the views of our podcast guests may not always align with the views of Nutritank** On last week’s episode of the podcast, we discussed some of the barriers and facilitators to increasing nutrition education in the medical curriculum as well as the role of nutrition in the healthcare environment. This week we focus on nutrition research projects carried out by medical students that focus on student perceptions regarding nutrition education, such as the implementation of ‘Culinary Medicine’ at UCL medical school and data surveying medical students attitudes and perceptions of nutrition education across all year groups. We also discuss community driven initiatives such as An Apple A Day - a programme in which medical students go into local schools to provide young people with the tools to lead healthy lives, founded by medical students at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Tune in to listen to 5 fantastic medical students: Jessica Xie, Joe Tan, Robyn Creeden, Megan Harrison and Zoe Rubins discuss the research that they have conducted related to nutrition. We guarantee an informative episode showcasing inspiring and motivated medical students and public health advocates who want to make a change to medical training and the wider healthcare system!
