Integrating Nutrition Into a Neurology Course for Osteopathic Medical Students Through Team-Based Learning

We aimed to create and test a nutrition education module for osteopathic medical students to relate practical nutrition knowledge on vitamin A supplementation and deficiency to the preclinical curriculum topic, biochemistry of the eye.
