The Wayne State University School of Medicine recently hosted its first mandated plant-based nutrition instruction for 300 first-year medical students. Created in conjunction with the school’s medical student-led plant-based advocacy group, the Plant Based Nutrition Group (PBNG), the month-long curriculum consisted of videos, lectures, and multiple-choice quizzes relating to evidence-based science behind a whole-foods plant-based diet and how to integrate the nutrition knowledge into clinical practice.

美国韦恩州立大学医学院最近率先为本学院的300名一年级医学生开设了植物性营养必修课程。“植物性营养协会”（PBNG）是该学院医学生领导的一个倡导植物性饮食的社团；由这个社团协助创立的为期一个月的必修课程包含视频、讲座和选择题测验，内容涉及支持全食植物性饮食（whole-foods plant-based diet）的循证科学知识，以及在临床实践中如何运用营养知识的方法。

Students received comprehensive educational materials created by both PBNG and medical group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine detailing the connection between their basic science curriculum and plant-based nutrition. Students also attended a half-day curriculum focusing entirely on plant-based nutrition, which included students participating in panels and a cooking demo, meeting more than 25 patients who have reversed chronic diseases with a whole-foods plant-based diet, sampling plant-based food products, and speaking with chefs who shared their cooking expertise.

植物性营养协会（PBNG）与医学组织“责任医疗医师委员会”（PCRM）为学生们精心制作了全面的教育材料，详细阐明基础科学课程和植物性营养之间的关系。学生们还开展了专门以植物性营养为主题的半天课程学习：参加小组讨论会和烹饪示范活动，和不止25位采用全食植物性饮食逆转了慢性疾病的患者举行会谈，试吃各种植物性食物产品，并与分享烹饪技艺的厨师们进行交谈。

The students also met healthcare providers who emphasize plant-based nutrition in their practice, including Joel Kahn, MD, Robert Breakey, MD, Caroline Trapp, RN, PhD, Margret Swenor, DO, Mary Roberts, PT, and Lisa McDowell, RD.

此外，学生们也与在执业过程中注重植物性营养的一些医疗保健专业人士进行了面对面的交流；这些专业人士包括：Joel Kahn（医学博士）、Robert Breakey（医学博士）、Caroline Trapp（注册护士，博士）、Margret Swenor（整骨医师）、Mary Roberts（物理治疗师）和Lisa McDowell（注册营养师）。

“Study after study has demonstrated that a plant-based diet is not only healthier, but could even help prevent, treat, and reverse some of the leading causes of pain and suffering in America and across the world,” PBNG president Lakshman (Lucky) Mulpuri told VegNews. 

植物性营养协会的会长Lakshman (Lucky) Mulpuri向VegNews网站表示：“一项又一项的研究已经论证了，植物性饮食不但促进（人类）健康，而且还能有助于预防、治疗和逆转让美国乃至全世界人们饱受痛苦和折磨的一些主要原因（疾病）。”

“The success of PBNG’s Plant Based Curriculum Enhancement will have national implications for the future of clinical care and medical education. Armed with a more comprehensive understanding of plant-based nutrition, these future physicians will be better prepared to combat the devastating effects of chronic disease that millions of Americans face every year.”

“PBNG协会的植物性强化课程得以成功举办，将为未来的临床护理和医学教育产生全国性影响。通过更全面地理解掌握植物性营养知识，这些未来的医生们将为对抗慢性疾病做好更充分的准备，志在使每年数百万美国人（患者）避免疾病所造成的毁灭性后果。”
