Nutrition education for providers is limited: it is time for increased education to boost interprofessional

Abstract:
Nutrition plays a major role in the overall health, longevity, and quality of life of each person, from infancy to elderly. Education and training for most health-care providers to deliver nutrition care to patients have been inadequate and on the decline in the past several decades. This gap needs to be addressed by increasing the knowledge, confidence, and abilities of health-care professionals to deliver nutrition care and work as an interprofessional team for patients. Having a registered dietitian nutritionist as part of the interprofessional team can lead to better-coordinated care, using nutrition at the forefront. We describe the issues with a disparity in online nutrition-focused continuing professional development (CPD) and propose an avenue and strategy to use CPD to deliver nutrition education and training to providers, ultimately to boost interprofessional collaboration.
