Forty-two practicing family physicians completed a questionnaire about 33 nutrition topic areas. They were among 71 physicians who, over an eight-year period (1980-1988), completed an identical questionnaire upon entry to their first postgraduate year in the family practice residency program at Brown University/Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island. Specific topic areas were grouped into five scales. Perceived knowledge of these topics significantly increased (p less than .0001) in all areas except nutritional biochemistry. There was significantly less (p less than .0001) interest in learning more about nutrition. One major exception was that the physicians wanted to learn more about nutrition counseling. Another exception was that nutrition in the life cycle remained an area about which they wanted to learn more. The physicians rated nutritional skills as less relevant on the second questionnaire than on the first. The authors conclude that more emphasis on nutrition counseling skills and nutrition in the life cycle may be appropriate in medical education.
42名执业家庭医生完成了一份关于33个营养主题领域的问卷。他们是71名医生中的一部分，在1980年至1988年的八年时间里，这些医生在进入布朗大学/罗德岛纪念医院家庭医学住院医师培训项目的第一年时完成了相同的问卷。特定主题领域被分为五个量表。除营养生物化学外，所有领域对这些主题的认知知识都有显著增加（p<0.0001）。对了解更多营养知识的兴趣显著降低（p<0.0001）。一个主要例外是医生们希望了解更多营养咨询方面的知识。另一个例外是生命周期中的营养仍然是他们希望更多了解的领域。医生们在第二份问卷中对营养技能的评价比第一份问卷中更低。作者得出结论，在医学教育中可能更适合强调营养咨询技能和生命周期中的营养。
