UNMC medical students Megan Thacker (left), Max Lydiatt, and Elsa Parr gather to discuss the Teaching Kitchen program, which aims to share good eating habits with providers, patients and community members.<\/p><\/div>\n

In March, a group of medical students, residents, and faculty met to discuss how good nutrition habits can help with psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress management. They called the program, \u201cThe Teaching Kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Second-year medical student Max Lydiatt joined the group right away and has played a role in developing the group\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I saw the impact that nutrition was having on my patients\u2019 lives,\u201d Lydiatt said. \u201cI\u2019ve been reading all of this research about how helpful it is. When I got to medical school, I noticed that it wasn\u2019t mentioned as much as I thought it would be. I wanted to change that, and this project is a wonderful way to spread the word about nutrition.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNMC medical students Megan Thacker and Elsa Parr are also on the Teaching Kitchen team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve noticed how much nutrition has made an impact on my life. There\u2019s such a radical difference in people with good nutrition habits and bad nutrition habits,\u201d Parr said. \u201cI feel we need to teach nutrition to patients, and I feel we need to teach nutrition to doctors, as well, so doctors can discuss nutrition with their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group is currently working on ways to teach medical students about healthy eating. The skills will not only be taught within the students\u2019 curriculum but also as part of outside projects. Parr brought up the idea of a farmer\u2019s market, where students could sell healthy foods.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking at ways to practice talking to patients, and I think a farmer\u2019s market would be a really low-pressure way of doing that,\u201d Parr said. \u201cWe are going to have to be able to communicate as doctors, and I feel the market would be an excellent way to speak with patients and community members about the importance of proper nutrition. It would also help students learn more about good eating habits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The initial idea for setting up a Teaching Kitchen program at UNMC came from a continuing education conference attended by Dr. Steven Wengel, Assistant Vice-Chancellor of Wellness at UNMC\/UNO. At the conference, experts in nutritional research presented data alongside trained chefs who demonstrated how to implement healthy changes such as concepts from the Mediterranean Diet. Wengel said the conference also strived to inspire participants to incorporate kitchens at their home institutions, with the idea that our colleagues and patients are more likely to successfully implement lifestyle changes like healthy cooking\/eating if they get to practice these skills under supervision rather than just hear about them.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sue Evans and Dr. Birgit Khandalavala are also part of the Teaching Kitchen team. Dr. Stephanie Sutton was a charter member of the committee, but she stepped down after finishing her residency.<\/p>\n
