Medical
Educators at Northwestern University Medical School and the University
of Washington School of Medicine originally developed the Nutrition
Attitudes Survey (NAS) for the Nutrition Academic Award. The survey
is intended to measure the views of medical students and clinicians-in-training
on the role of nutrition and preventive medicine in patient care.
The NAS is administered at the University of Texas Medical School
at Houston to first year students during orientation and to fourth
year students at the beginning of 4th year clerkship. The
results of this survey are posted below:
