There is overwhelming evidence that diet strongly influences risk of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and some cancers. National dietary guidelines have been established to help reduce the incidence of these diseases, but the majority of the population does not adhere to them. More specifically, the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) advocates diet as the cornerstone of treatment of cardiovascular disease, but few physicians feel prepared to provide dietary advice. Nutrition impacts the health status of every patient, young or old, inpatient or outpatient, whatever the diagnosis but tat present only 22% of US medical schools offer a required course in nutrition. In part, this is a reflection of the minimal attention paid tot nutrition on the National Board Exams. In 1993, only 12% of the board questions related to nutrition. Since most medical schools have few, if any, medical faculty with credentials, training, and interest in nutrition there is little or no support for this subject in curriculum development. Existing faculty with nutrition expertise are often preoccupies with clinical practice or research leaving little or incentive for teaching. Physicians who indicate they feel prepared to provide or facilitate dietary counseling also indicate that their medical school training included it. The purpose of this proposal is to develop, teach and test a comprehensive medical nutrition education model that improves nutrition knowledge, attitude and related clinical behavior of medical students and raises the visibility and support for nutrition in prevention and treatment of disease. Essential to effective application of these objectives is a supportive environment where standardized nutritional assessment and effective dietary intervention is commonly practiced and modeled by residents and attending physicians. To achieve these outcomes, faculty tutors for Problem Based Learning Courses will be provided with nutrition related guidelines. Also, a variety of continuing education opportunities, concluding a Visiting Nutrition Scholar program, are planned for residents, fellows, faculty and other health professionals on campus. Registered dietitians will be trained to play a supporting role in these efforts both academically and in clinical practice. The ultimate goal of this combined strategy is to improve patients' dietary behavior in efforts to prevent and treat disease. The generalizability of this model with potentially collaborative research opportunities with other medical schools in testing some of these strategies are further addressed.

有大量证据表明，饮食对患此病的风险有很大影响 心血管疾病、高血压、糖尿病、肥胖症和一些癌症。 国家膳食指南的制定旨在帮助减少 这些疾病的发病率很高，但大多数人并没有 遵守它们。更具体地说，国家胆固醇教育 计划（NCEP）提倡饮食作为治疗的基石 心血管疾病，但很少有医生愿意提供 饮食建议。 营养影响每个患者的健康状况，无论年轻还是年长， 住院病人或门诊病人，无论诊断如何，但只占 22% 的美国医学院开设营养学必修课程。部分地，这 反映了人们对营养的关注最少 国家委员会考试。 1993 年，只有 12% 的董事会问题涉及 营养。由于大多数医学院的医学院很少（如果有的话） 凭借资历、培训和对营养的兴趣，几乎没有或 课程开发中不支持该主题。现有师资队伍 具有营养专业知识的人通常专注于临床实践或 研究几乎没有为教学留下任何动力。医生指出 他们也准备提供或促进饮食咨询 表明他们的医学院培训包括它。 该提案的目的是开发、教授和测试一个全面的 提高营养知识的医学营养教育模式， 医学生的态度和相关临床行为，并提出 营养在预防和治疗中的知名度和支持 疾病。有效应用这些目标的关键是 支持性环境，其中标准化营养评估和 有效的饮食干预通常被实践和模仿 住院医师和主治医生。为了实现这些成果，教师 基于问题的学习课程的导师将获得营养 相关指南。此外，还有各种继续教育机会， 完成访问营养学者计划，计划于 校园内的居民、研究员、教师和其他卫生专业人员。 注册营养师将接受培训，在这些方面发挥支持作用 学术和临床实践方面的努力。最终目标是 这种综合策略是在努力改善患者的饮食行为 来预防和治疗疾病。该模型的普适性为 与其他医学领域潜在的合作研究机会 学校正在测试其中一些策略，并得到进一步解决。
