An interdisciplinary clinical training program for dietitians. New primary care function.
One approach to teaching clinical skills to dietetic interns and students has been described. This approach has been taken to promote the use of on-going dietitian-client relationships where appropriate and to help prepare dietitians to function optimally in such situations. It is hoped that other, different programs will emerge with similar goals, the overall impact being one of developing the potential of dietitians as primary health care professionals in their field of expertise.
