Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes of UE

The concepts developed will enable the future medical doctor to understand the nutritional and metabolic needs of different categories of patients, whether in terms of energy intake or intakes / deficiencies / overloads in macro- and micronutrients. The student will be able to understand the physicochemical and biochemical notions useful for interpreting the composition, cooking and digestion of food.

Content of UE

The UE develops biochemical and physicochemical concepts (energy balance, reactive oxygen species, vitamins, macro- and micronutrients, Maillard reaction, contribution of the colonic microflora in digestion, dietary fiber...). Some clinical applications allow putting into perspective the studied concepts.

Prior Experience
