Despite considerable evidence that plant-based diets can significantly improve health, medical professionals seldom discuss this with their patients. This issue might occur due to minimal training received in medical education, lack of time, and low self-efficacy for counseling patients about diet. Nutrition and lifestyle change should be considered a core competency for all physicians and health professionals looking for cost-effective ways to improve patient health outcomes and reduce nutrition-related chronic diseases. Strategies for health professionals to acquire nutrition counseling skills in medical training and clinical practices are discussed.
尽管有大量证据表明植物性饮食能显著改善健康状况，但医学专业人员很少与患者讨论这一问题。出现这个问题可能是由于医学教育中接受的相关培训极少、时间不足以及在为患者提供饮食咨询方面自我效能感较低。营养和生活方式的改变应被视为所有医生和健康专业人员的一项核心能力，他们致力于寻找具有成本效益的方法来改善患者的健康状况并减少与营养相关的慢性病。本文讨论了健康专业人员在医学培训和临床实践中获得营养咨询技能的策略。
