Professional roles of dietitians: do dietitians and physicians agree? 1994

In some quarters, dietitians and physicians do not agree on a role for dietetic practitioners. Dietitians seem to be more highly regarded, and their counsel is sought and advice heeded when both health professionals work on developing collegial relationships. Education matters: a course in nutrition for physicians-to-be and more depth in the sciences for dietetic students are major factors in establishing partnerships in patient care.
