Culinary Medicine: The Mediterranean Approach to Chronic Disease Prevention is an interactive, hands-on learning experience designed to teach physicians the evidence behind therapeutic diets for the prevention and management of chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, along with effective strategies to facilitate a patient’s integration of therapeutic dietary patterns into their lifestyle. This includes knowledge translation strategies, food selection and preparation.

This workshop will take place in the culinary department at George Brown College and will be a collaborative learning experience lead by physician scientists, chefs, and registered dietitians. Participants will enjoy lectures, culinary demos, a grocery shopping workshop, and ample opportunity for open questions and discussions. Throughout the event, participants will touch, taste, and see recipes and food products to recommend to their patients
