Nutrition's Hope Barkoukis emphasizes impact of CWRU's culinary classes

Doctors are taking culinary classes so they can prescribe food as medicine—it’s so much more than just ‘eat healthy’
New York Post: Hope Barkoukis, chair in the Department of Nutrition, said many physicians want to discuss nutrition but “don’t feel competent at all” because medical schools often lack robust nutrition training. She said CWRU’s culinary classes help future doctors give practical, culturally sensitive food advice tailored to patients’ real lives instead of vague orders to “eat healthy.”
