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
second seminary took place March 14, 1998, supported by the Mexican
Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Mexico. It was about Nutrition
impact on women health at reproductive age.
The
topic was selected for its special importance in the nutriologic management
of Women at this life-stage.
The
Mexican Association of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Mexico 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. |
