Food As Medicine Network: Live 2025

May 8, 2025 | Chicago, IL

Clinicians can turbocharge the effectiveness of food as medicine initiatives by helping patients recognize the potency of dietary interventions and by making strategic referrals.

At the Food As Medicine Network’s Live 2025 event, learn from Gaples Institute Executive Director Stephen Devries, MD, about the exciting progress in bringing nutrition education into medical training and the remarkable ways that engaged clinicians can transform the food as medicine movement.
