Video Summary
Autumn Stevens, an osteopathic medical student, presented research on osteopathic students' knowledge of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The study focused on vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, and folate, common deficiencies in the U.S. which impact health. Surveying 44 osteopathic students, results showed limited confidence in nutrition knowledge, with students retaining more knowledge about certain vitamins. No significant knowledge difference was found between preclinical and postclinical students. Despite students' willingness to recommend supplements, the study highlights a need for improved micronutrient education in medical curricula to enhance future physicians' capabilities in addressing these deficiencies. A larger follow-up study is planned.
