Distribution of the required nutrition contact hours (i.e., the actual number of hours of nutrition education) among the various types of medical school courses. Representatives from 109 U.S. medical schools responded to the 2008–2009 Nutrition in Medicine survey (100 schools provided data in response to this question; 9 schools did not). The chart shows the distribution of required nutrition instruction throughout medical school curricula, whether in a designated nutrition course (20%) or integrated into other courses or learning environments (80%).
