title: The development of clinical psychiatric dietetic technicians.
abstract: Employing dietetic technicians to complement and enhance the roles and responsibilities of clinical dietitians is not a new practice. But tailoring the training of the dietetic technician to meet the needs of a specific psychiatric institution is unique. The successful clinical psychiatric dietetic technician training program also assisted the hospital in extending the nutrition care services offered to the patients.
