To investigate the present status of nutrition education for dentists and physicians in Canada, we conducted a survey of the nutrition education programs in 10 Canadian dental and 16 medical schools in the academic year 1982-83. Seven of the dental schools and seven of the medical schools had a separate course in nutrition. The average duration of these courses was 22 hours for the dental schools and 26 hours for the medical schools. Nutrition education was integrated with another discipline in 4 of the dental schools and 11 of the medical schools. The average duration of this type of instruction was 14 hours for the dental schools and 18 hours for the medical schools. Six of the dental schools and eight of the medical schools employed a nutritionist/dietitian to provide instruction in nutrition. We recommend that courses in basic and applied clinical nutrition be incorporated throughout the curricula of Canadian dental and medical schools, and that personnel trained in clinical nutrition be employed to provide instruction in this area.
为调查加拿大牙医和医生的营养教育现状，我们于1982 - 1983学年对加拿大10所牙科学院和16所医学院的营养教育项目进行了一项调查。其中7所牙科学院和7所医学院设有单独的营养课程。这些课程在牙科学院的平均时长为22小时，在医学院为26小时。在4所牙科学院和11所医学院中，营养教育与另一学科相结合。这种教学方式在牙科学院的平均时长为14小时，在医学院为18小时。6所牙科学院和8所医学院聘请了营养学家/营养师来提供营养方面的教学。我们建议在加拿大牙科学院和医学院的整个课程体系中纳入基础和应用临床营养课程，并聘请接受过临床营养培训的人员来提供该领域的教学。
