Nutrition in the curriculum: medical experience.
Nutrition in the Curriculum--Medical experience, current practices, and educational status in U.S. medical schools are briefly reviewed. There continues to be a need for more adequate instruction of clinical nutrition to physicians in training and in practice. A major problem is the failure to provide patient oriented, case-related, nutrition teaching in the clinical years to all clinical clerks. Desirable changes are listed to help achieve better training in this field.
