Description
Summary:In this article I describe challenges to medical-nutrition educators and an opportunity provided by the Association of American Medical Colleges Medical School Objectives Project. Brief snapshots of nutrition education are given during the family medicine residency and through continuing medical education programming. An argument is made to provide education that focuses not on knowledge, but on confidence and skill in providing nutrition services to primary care patients. Medical-nutrition educators are challenged to share curriculum ideas and to explore ways to use technology to become a more effective community.
