Medical students training in nutrition - help with a paper

hi, everyone

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am writing a paper on the following topic: What sort of training do medical students get in nutrition? Is it adequate?

I have to write four pages for the rough draft and so far I have found that training in nutrition is inadequate but I'm not sure how to start it and what to write for the first four pages. I was wondering if someone could give me some suggestions or ideas or give an outline what direction to take in writing this paper. I would really appreciate it. How can I approach this paper with the organisation?

thanks.

Greetings!

After your introductory paragraph where you set up your thesis (for example, that the training in nutrition in medical schools is inadequate), you might want to first explain why it is important, that is, the health benefits of good nutrition. Then you can go on to describe the training that is given in medical schools, and show why, since nutrition has these health benefits, that training is inadequate.

I hope this helps!

Paper topic: What sort of training do medical students get in nutrtion? Is it adequate?

I'm suppose to answer some sub-questions that is linked with this paper. I was wondering if you could help me answer these questions. Where could I find the information or websites to answer these questions for my paper?

1) Why traditionally has nutrition education not been part of the medical school curriculum?

2) where is the call for more nutrition training coming from?

3) How is nutrition being integrated? (medical school curriculum)

4) What do physicians in training as well as experienced say about this issue?

I would really appreciate it. You can send suggestions or ideas that I could talk about in my paper.

Have a good day. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

1) Why traditionally has nutrition education not been part of the medical school curriculum? - I think for this, you would have to look at what the focus of medical training was, until very recently. Perhaps you could find an article on the history of medical training or medical schools. I suspect that the reason has to do with the profession's focus on treating disease, rather than preventing it.

2) where is the call for more nutrition training coming from? - Check out websites for organizations such as the American Dietetic Association and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals.

3) How is nutrition being integrated? (medical school curriculum) - Probably the best way to find this is to look at the medical schools' curricula. You could talk about how many courses are offered and at what point in the medical training.

4) What do physicians in training as well as experienced say about this issue? - You might try the Journal of the American Medical Association and other professional journals to see if there are articles that contain interviews with doctors on this subject.

I hope this helps!
