Community outreach poster entitled "A Dietary Approach to Mental Health Management" emphasizing the importance on diet on health at the physician and patient level. This presentation describes how we researched the role that maintaining an adequate diet plays on both physical and mental health, and how small changes to maintaining a healthy diet can lead to profound improvements in multiple areas of health and a reduction in physician burnout. The presentation also describes the steps that we took to provide these resources to our own community of future-physicians in order to further stress the importance of diet on their future as medical practitioners.
