Nutritional knowledge of 184 clinical doctors was investigated by questionnaires. The results showed that clinical doctors did not have enough nutritional knowledge to meet the demands of their work. The doctors grasped fundamental nutritional knowledge better than clinical nutritional knowledge (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the doctors in different groups with different academic degrees, professional titles, work histories, and departments (P > 0.05). Therefore, we suggest that the class hours of nutrition science can be added, the course of clinical nutrition can be offered in medical university, and the nutritional knowledge of clinical doctors can be improved by conducting nutritional science training course.
