Dietetic programs require research activities, but student participation in faculty research is limited. Findings suggest prioritizing research competencies differently for evolving dietetic practice needs.

Area of Science:

  • Dietetics
  • Nutrition Science
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Dietetic education increasingly emphasizes research skills.
  • Understanding current research activities in dietetic programs is crucial for curriculum development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze research activities within dietetic internship and coordinated undergraduate programs.
  • To assess the integration of research competencies in dietetic training.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 79 dietetic internship and 46 coordinated undergraduate program directors.
  • Inquiry focused on research courses, experiences, competencies, publications, and faculty needs.

Main Results:

  • Research courses were required in 60% of programs, often covering statistics and literature review.

  • Most programs required research projects (71%), but faculty-sponsored research participation was limited.
  • Key competencies included critical literature evaluation and applying research to practice; less than 2% of graduates published.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dietetic programs incorporate research elements, yet opportunities for in-depth student involvement in faculty research are scarce.
    • Faculty identified needs for more time, funding, resources, and facilities to enhance research training.
    • Re-evaluation and prioritization of research competencies are recommended to align with contemporary dietetic practice demands.
