The
Nestle Fund for Nutrition,
alongside with the Mexican
Association of Medicine
Faculties and Schools have
developed for several years
different activities to
promote nutrition teaching
at medicine faculties and
schools in Mexico. |
The
organization of a Ciclo de Seminarios,
dealing with medical "nutriology",
is one of these activities. The
purpose of the seminaries is to
divulge medical "nutriology"
topics that can be of interest
to general medics, with an emphasis
on training teachers at medicine
schools. The seminaries have thrown
out positive results as regards
assistance and dissemination of
the presented knowledge. Their
success is due to a combination
of factors: on the one hand there's
the close relationship between
the interests in Nutriology and
the interests in medical specialties,
thanks to a joint organization
with the respective Medical Associations,
and on the other hand, the dissemination
made possible by the divulging
bodies of each society.
The
financial and logistic support
is supplied by the NNF alongside
with Nestle Mexico S.A. de C.V.
The
fifth seminary took place on August
14, 1999, with the cooperation
of the Mexican Pediatric Academy.
It was about the critical nutritional
aspects among pre-school and school
children. The topic was selected
for its special importance in
the dietetic management on the
first days of life. The Mexican
Pediatric Academy invited as lecturers
members of its corporation specialized
on the topic, as well as other
specialists dealing with food
technology and the dietetic aspects
of the topic. |
