    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Nutritional Science
    • Physician Practice

    Background:

    • Physician nutrition knowledge is crucial for patient health outcomes.
    • Gaps in medical school nutrition curricula may impact clinical practice.
    • Understanding physician attitudes towards nutrition informs educational strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the nutritional knowledge and attitudes of physicians.
    • To identify factors influencing nutritional knowledge among physicians.
    • To explore the utilization of clinical dietitians by physicians.

    Main Methods:

    • A closed-end questionnaire was distributed to 292 physicians.
    • The survey included 55 knowledge questions and 20 attitude statements.
    • Response rate was 22% of the total possible sample.

    Main Results:

    • 12% of physicians reported no formal nutrition education in medical school.
    • Physicians answered 65% of knowledge questions correctly, excelling in basic nutrition.
    • A moderate negative correlation was found between years in practice and nutritional knowledge.

    Conclusions:

    • Nutrition education should be integrated into postgraduate physician training.
    • Physicians should be encouraged to utilize clinical dietitians more frequently.
    • Enhanced nutrition knowledge and collaboration can improve patient counseling and care.
