The study modules that follow were designed to enhance medical student learning in the first year Nutrition Thread. As expressed above, nutrition education is integral to creating well-rounded physicians especially with the obesity epidemic running rampant in this nation. These modules provide a condensed overview of the most valuable vitamins and minerals that the human body requires to function adequately and thrive. They should serve as supplemental study resources to the course material taught in lectures throughout the Nutrition Thread. Salient points listed in these modules will also appear on assessments (both weekly quizzes and exams), so it is recommended that students use them as a reference throughout the year.
