The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Monday that numerous medical school accrediting organizations and assessors have agreed to increase nutrition requirements for U.S. medical education.

HHS said in a release that eight medical school organizations had agreed to “increase nutrition requirements at every level of U.S. medical education, competency-evaluation, training, and residency.”The release did not specify what these increased requirements will be. Earlier this year, the Trump administration announced partnerships with dozens of medical schools that would incorporate 40 hours of nutrition education before graduation.
