Abstract

This pilot study explored nutrition-focused physical examination (NFPE) knowledge and practice changes in clinical dietitians and dietetics educators who completed a hybrid training program in Malaysia. Integration of NFPE into dietetics curricula was also assessed. Mean knowledge scores increased significantly from baseline to posttests immediately posttraining and at 6 and 12 months (P ≤ .001) posttraining. Dietitians were significantly more likely to report they perform versus not perform all NFPE tasks (P < .001). Educators included all NFPE tasks in their curricula 12 months posttraining. Participants demonstrated increased NFPE knowledge and curricular and clinical practices. The hybrid approach to teaching NFPE was feasible.
