enerally, Nutrition is under presented in medical education. Nutrition did not exist in medical education till late nineties,
when theMedical School of North Carolina University, USAhad launched its nutrition course into themedical curriculum.
Afterwards, several medical schools took the courage to do the same in their teaching program. In this article, we are going to
put guidelines of teaching nutrition through a structured module in medical education. This module comprises the nutrients
and their daily intake, different methods of nutritional assessment, in addition to the types of nutrition: enteral & parenteral
feeding, highlighting their indications, routes, formulas and complications. This study set a platform module for nutrition in
medicine in general, more specifically in the surgical course. It can be applied, modified and easily updated in the process of
medical education.
