Participants will work with instructors in small groups for facilitated breakout discussions focused on specific topics of interest. The list of topics will be finalized based on the list of registrants and a pre-workshop survey to assess topics of interest, cooking experience and food allergies, if possible. Several preliminary ideas for topics based on instructors’ expertise include best practices for shared medical appointments, medical student training, virtual culinary medicine, dietitian-led group visits, food Rx, data collection and evaluation, and community partnerships. Instructors will provide a brief introduction to the topic, pose several pre-prepared questions to participants, and include time for Q&A.
