Doctors Cooking Up a Healthier Arkansas with UAMS Curriculum

Medical student in KARK storyWe go to our doctors for everything health, now future doctors who go through UAMS will also be able to offer their patients “Culinary Medicine”.

Currently, Arkansas ranks in the top 10 in the US in three categories obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

UAMS recently cooked up the pilot program it looks to implement in the medical curriculum this spring.

This 4th-year elective program aims to educate doctors on how to target cooking for different conditions to better advise their patients.

Watch this story on the KARK website.
