A prenatal nutrition project using dietetic students in physicians' offices.
A prenatal nutritional counseling project utilizing senior dietetic students in private physicians' offices was developed. The objectives were to provide sound nutritional information to pregnant women and a realistic work experience for students committed to a career in nutritional counseling. The results were positive for the patients, the participating physicians, and the student nutritionists. Further research is indicated to determine the specific effect of nutritional counseling on pregnancy outcomes.
