Abstract:
A whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) eating pattern has shown benefits in preventing and reversing chronic disease, yet nursing curricula rarely include content on nutrition as a primary modality for disease management. We implemented several undergraduate and graduate nursing and interprofessional teaching strategies to increase student knowledge of a WFPB diet and help nurses improve patient outcomes through assimilation. Students requested additional emphasis on WFPB diets and chronic illness in the curriculum.
