NUTRITION: Urges and requests Louisiana medical schools to integrate courses on nutrition and metabolic health into the medical school curriculum.

This resolution (SR 187) urges Louisiana's medical schools - including LSU Health Sciences Centers in New Orleans and Shreveport, Tulane University School of Medicine, Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, and Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine - to add nutrition and metabolic health courses to their curricula. It does not require schools to make this change but requests they address a gap in current training, where minimal nutrition education may contribute to over-reliance on medication for chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. The resolution cites evidence that better nutrition training could help physicians provide more effective patient advice on diet and prevention. As a non-binding resolution, it directs the request to school leaders but does not create new law or mandate specific actions.
