摘要

Nutrition receives inadequate attention in medical training and primary care practice, and multiple barriers present challenges to adding nutrition to packed medical curricula and busy patient visits. To address the need to more adequately prepare medical students to practically address diet with patients while also considering these barriers, we implemented a required interprofessional and experiential nutrition curriculum. A prework personal dietary change assignment had positive impacts on students personally and professionally. Following the curriculum, students reported greater confidence discussing diet with patients, greater familiarity with registered dietitian (RD) services, and plans to change their own diet.
