Nutrition & Health: State of the Science and Clinical Applications is the premier nutrition conference for health professionals in the U.S. Presented by Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, the conference assembles internationally-recognized researchers, clinicians, educators, and chefs, all of whose work focuses on the interface between nutrition and healthful living.

You will leave understanding the links between nutrition, disease and health to better advise patients on nutritional recommendations that improve their conditions.

Great value for professional development:

  • Taste delicious and healthful meals based on dietary recommendations and anti-inflammatory guidelines. Meals are organic, sustainable and increasingly sourced locally.
  • While getting credit for your professional development, you will get expert, applicable and timely information not covered at other conferences.
  • Learn from and alongside like-minded professionals who realize the value of an integrative approach to medicine.

If you were unable to attend this year's conference, you can order DVDs and CDs.
