title: The clinical dietitian as an educator of medical students.
abstract: The study of nutrition as it relates to patient evaluation and care is a necessary component of the education of medical students. Although the clinical dietitian is the person best qualified to provide applied nutrition education, this contribution has been made only since the integration of the dietitian into the health care team. Full utilization of the knowledge and expertise of the dietitian in the education of the medical student has yet to occur.
