ABSTRACT
Knowledge regarding nutrition is an essential part in Medical Education. Several studies indicate that physicians have little knowledge of nutrition. The present study was carried out to determine the knowledge of nutrition of physicians at Sylhet in Bangladesh. For this purpose, the research data was collected by mean of a questionnaire including multiple choice questions. The questionnaire was pretested in a pilot survey. The survey was conducted among randomly selected physicians. The analysis shows that the response rate of the physicians was 60.3% and some of the physicians (26.49%) were experienced below 5 years. Only 15% of the physicians were females. The average correctly answered questions was 55.2%. The analysis also shows that most of the physicians (55%) have ‘poor’ knowledge of nutrition and that of only 10% was good. The physicians were generally aware of nutrition information which has been publicized in the medical press.
