– Obesity Medicine > Weblink

The educational objective of the IUD is to acquire the necessary resources and skills to negotiate with the obese patient an individualized care plan. Teaching is organized into 5 modules (one day of theoretical instruction followed by a practical instructional day as clinical case study).

– Nutrition and Feeding: From metabolism to nutritional advice in obesity and in the elderly.

Responsible Pr. Joëlle GOUDABLE. The first module of this DU will be delivered in e-learning. This call for proposals is labeled Excellence Initiatives Innovative Training (IDEFI), and is supported by the Francophone Digital University of Health Sciences and Sports (UNF3S) and funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR).

4/ SUMMER SCHOOL (in English)

Nutrition, Heath, cognitive processes in food choice
This summer school aims to be both innovative and forward on various applications of nutrition. It will be a real moment of exchange between students, teachers and nutrition field professionals to forge links abroad.

This university will be divided into four main themes:

• macro- and micronutrients and their place in large epidemiological studies,
• Nutrition and health through the major public health problems,
• Nutrition and food choices,
• physical activity as the best ally of nutrition.

Doctoral students benefit from the expertise of an ad hoc steering committee made up of researchers and professionals.
It develops an original research strategy that is included in a truly multidisciplinary approach that takes into account three major concerns:

• the taste and pleasure of a meal, tasting, table etiquette, service, hosting and hospitality;
• health and well-being, nutritional balance, physiological and mental well-being;
• the environment of people eating, in its economic, social and cultural aspects…
