title: [Knowledge on nutrition among medical residents].
abstract: We evaluated the knowledge on nutrition of physicians undertaking their residency in gynecology, pediatrics or internal medicine. A group of nutrition students was also evaluated for comparison. We used a "don't know-false-true" type of examination. The mean grades of the physicians were lower than those considered minimum for approval, whereas the mean grades of the nutrition students were near the minimum for approval.
