THE MEDICAL DIETETICS DIVISION

School of Allied Medical Professions

The Ohio State University College of Medicine

proudly presents

The Thirteenth

Martha Nelson Lewis Conference

September 1, 2009 

In 1978 a fund for nutrition lectures was established with gifts from friends and associates of Martha Nelson Lewis.  Mrs. Lewis received a B.S. in education from The Ohio State University in 1923 and is a former director of the Medical Dietetics Division, School of Allied Medical Professions at The Ohio State University.  Martha was instrumental in the development of the Medical Dietetics Program and received the Copher Award, the highest honor bestowed by The American Dietetic Association, for her pioneering efforts in dietetic education and nutrition education. 


The primary goal of this workshop is to update your knowledge and clinical acumen in contemporary areas of medical nutrition therapy, wellness and education. This is an excellent workshop for practitioners who want to sharpen their skills, return to practice, or expand their knowledge in these topics.
