Nutrition in the Curriculum–Medical experience, current practices, and educational status in U.S. medical schools are briefly reviewed. There continues to be a need for more adequate instruction of clinical nutrition to physicians in training and in practice. A major problem is the failure to provide patient oriented, case‐related, nutrition teaching in the clinical years to all clinical clerks. Desirable changes are listed to help achieve better training in this field.
