Unfortunately, in our Academic Society the educational requirements to become a Vet, and a doctor as well in some universities, do not include more then 1 semester of a basic nutritional class. Student- physician candidates education, stemmed mainly on fixing the body, not on maintainance. The University of Maryland was one of the first schools to institute a required nutritional science course into their program. If you do have dietary questions, you would be better assisted with current information when asking a nutritionist, rather than any physician about nutritional requirements and diet directives. As this is not their course of study. |
