The White House recognized the nonprofit Gaples Institute today and its new nationwide commitment to prepare the next generation of physicians with the nutrition education needed to reduce the U.S. burden of diet-related disease.

The Gaples Institute has long been recognized as a trailblazing expert in nutrition education whose clinical nutrition science course is now required in the curriculum of seven leading medical schools.

In this ambitious new nationwide initiative, the Gaples Institute will offer a unique and comprehensive nutrition education partnership package to 100 additional medical schools and health-professional training programs, prioritizing those in underserved areas and serving historically marginalized populations.

A personal note from our Executive Director:

This White House spotlight on the Gaples Institute is a gratifying acknowledgement of the impact of our work. I'm thrilled that the White House has chosen to elevate our nationwide initiative that will equip future physicians to unlock the full potential of food as medicine.

As a physician who has cared so deeply about this topic for so long, I couldn't be more proud of this White House recognition of the Gaples Institute and for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Stephen Devries, MD

Executive Director of the Gaples Institute
