Overview

Online preregistration is closed.  For questions contact the Virginia Mason CME department at (206) 341-0142.

 

Each year, almost 1 million Americans die prematurely from the 5 leading causes of death – heart disease, cancer, chronic pulmonary disease,  stroke and unintentional injuries. Yet, up to 40% of these deaths may be prevented with improved nutrition and changes each and every one of us and our patients can make to our lifestyles. This multidisciplinary CME course is relevant for all health care professionals and our patients to learn about the critical role that nutrition has in the prevention and treatment of multiple medical conditions – from diabetes to spine disease – and how we can cook delicious and healthy food, and share it with those we love to nourish not only our bodies but our souls. Hence, we will learn how we can use food as medicine and to prevent disease.


Lecturers for this course include physicians in varying medical subspecialties who have a passion for disease prevention. We are also excited to collaborate with iconic Seattle restaurant Canlis and their executive chef Aisha Ibrahim to live demo healthy recipes created just for this CME event, along with the opportunity for a Q and A with Chef Aisha and our dieticians .
