The New York Times quoted Dr. Wendelin Slusser, a physician and professor in UCLA Fielding's Department of Community Health Sciences, about the "Food as Medicine" strategy of connecting nutrition, diet, and medical treatment.
"Plenty of data show that if physicians know more about cooking, they are more likely to use food as a tool to treat patients, said Dr. Wendelin Slusser, an associate vice provost and professor of pediatrics at the University of California, Los Angeles, speaking at a panel last year.
'Are we preparing them to prescribe it with the same confidence as medicine?' she asked."
