Abstract
Clinicians use various treatment methods to treat their patients. Pharmacological treatment is the main treatment method used in western medical practice. Therefore, during the five year training of a medical undergraduate, significant time is spent acquiring knowledge in pharmacology. Once graduated, doctors acquire skills in prescribing medicines to various illnesses as mono-therapy as well as combination treatment. Surgical skills, too, are given some emphasis during undergraduate training period and those who work in surgical units acquire surgical skills during the internship.

During early parts of the medical undergraduate training, undergraduates get an adequate input on food and nutrition
Summary
This is useful for doctors when they have to advise patients regarding food and nutrition It is my personal experience as a clinical teacher that out of all the skills required by a medical officer, behaviour management methods are given no or very minimal attention during undergraduate training. It is not common for young doctors to acquire knowledge in behaviour therapy principles or skills in behaviour therapy techniques during early parts of their career because only few of them get exposed to clinical settings where behaviour therapy is routinely practiced. The chances of people practicing wrong or harmful behaviour modification methods with children, are high
