Novel model to integrate nutrition medicine at the medical school. Plan: review literature and material, define curricular assessment strategies, conduct surveys. Intervene: define objectives and competencies; integrate modules, cases, and lectures; create a virtual curriculum with internal and external linkage; add extracurricular activities. Evaluate and sustain: develop process and content evaluations, as well as student/staff surveys, build in expert and committee feedback; at the end of its mandate, replace the Vertical Integration Group with a nutrition education subcommittee.
