Reevaluating Biochemistry and Nutrition Education Through Opinions of Clinicians and Educators.

ABSTRACT: Biochemistry is a core component of medical education as it contributes to the fundamental basis and understanding of molecular mechanisms in pathophysiological processes. The convergence of nutritional factors also gives insight to many chronic diseases. Topics of nutrition are often incorporated into biochemistry coursework and must be integrated in a way that makes sense within the overall curriculum. An important issue raised by this structure is determining which topics are most important to a student's understanding and what topics are most relevant to future clinical practice.
