Nutrition education in medical schools is still for from established. Part of the difficulty in establishing nutrition as an integral part of the curriculum is a failure by many educators and people in the health professions to recognize the subject as a science. Graduate nutrition programs do not consistently provide practical clinical instruction. Patients look to their physicians for guidance in nutrition, and, as has been shown, such knowledge among physicians is only modest. Although aspects of nutrition are taught in medical school, they largely go unlearned because their importance is not stressed in light of the multitude of other facts that must be assimilated. Alternatives to nutrition education in medical schools, including continuing medical education, are discussed in this paper.
医学院校中的营养教育仍远未确立。将营养作为课程不可或缺的一部分存在困难，部分原因在于许多教育工作者和卫生专业人员未将该学科视为一门科学。研究生营养课程并未始终如一地提供实用的临床指导。患者期望从医生那里获得营养方面的指导，而事实表明，医生在这方面的知识水平仅属一般。尽管医学院校会讲授营养的各个方面，但由于在众多必须吸收的其他知识中，营养知识的重要性未得到强调，所以这些知识大多被忽视了。本文讨论了医学院校营养教育的替代方式，包括继续医学教育。
