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，饮食强烈影响 心血管疾病，高血压，糖尿病，肥胖症和一些癌症。 已经制定了国家饮食指南，以帮助减少 这些疾病的发病率，但大多数人口没有 坚持他们。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，但很少有医生准备提供 饮食建议。 营养会影响每个患者，年轻人或老年患者的健康状况 住院或门诊病人，无论诊断如何 美国医学院中有必要的营养课程。在某种程度上 反映出最小的关注点营养 国家董事会考试。 1993年，董事会只有12％的问题与 营养。由于大多数医学院很少（如果有的话） 有了资历，培训和对营养的兴趣，几乎没有或 在课程开发中没有支持此主题。现有教师 具有营养专业知识通常是临床实践或 研究几乎没有教学的动力。指示的医师 他们准备提供或促进饮食咨询 表明他们的医学院培训包括其中。 该建议的目的是开发，教导和测试全面 改善营养知识的医学营养教育模型， 态度和医学生的相关临床行为，并提高 可见性和对预防和治疗的营养的支持 疾病。这些目标的有效应用至关重要的是 支持环境，标准化营养评估和 通常采用和建模有效的饮食干预措施 居民和医生。为了实现这些结果，教师 基于问题的学习课程的导师将提供营养 相关指南。此外，各种继续教育的机会， 总结一个来访的营养学者计划，计划 校园里的居民，研究员，教职员工和其他卫生专业人员。 注册的营养师将接受培训，以在这些方面发挥支持作用 在学术和临床实践中努力。最终目标 这种联合策略是改善努力中患者的饮食行为 预防和治疗疾病。该模型与 与其他医学的潜在协作研究机会 测试其中一些策略的学校得到了进一步解决。
