Improvement of education for clinical nutrition interns based on Joint Commission International standards / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Huashan Hospital became the first Academic Medical Center Hospital accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI) in 2013. The Department of Clinical Nutrition has constantly improved internship education through the introduction of JCI standards. Based on the flexible combination of teaching and practicing modules, clinical nutrition knowledge is closely integrated with professional dietitian skills, and in-depth practical training helps students to acquire much more experience of the occupation as a dietitian. Teachers think highly of students' initiative and knowledge conversion ability, and in the recent five years, undergraduate projects have been enhanced in both quantity and quality.
