There was a piece in the news over the weekend highlighting the work of Cambridge Graduate course students Kate Womersley and Katherine Ripullone, published last year in the BMJ around the value of having nutrition and lifestyle as a core part of the undergraduate medical curriculum. It builds on the work of Prof Sumantra Ray of NNedPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health.
