Nutrition and the training of doctors

The rapid growth in medical knowledge over the past few decades has resulted in overcrowding of the medical curriculum and subjects not perceived to be very useful in clinical medicine have tended to lose time to more promising or expanding topics (Anon., 1983). Because nutrition has been, until relatively recently, a neglected area of medical practice it has also been neglected in medical education. The British Nutrition Foundation, concerned that the resurgence of interest in nutrition and its importance in both the prevention and management of many diseases was not being incorporated into the training of doctors, set up a Task Force to survey the current status of courses in nutrition in undergraduate and postgraduate medical training; this paper summarizes the findings which have already been published in a report entitled Nutrition in Medical Education (British Nutrition Foundation, 1983).
