Let’s face it - PA school didn’t prepare us for in-depth, detailed discussions about nutrition with our patients. Formal nutrition training is profoundly lacking in medical school and PA school. We’re told to recommend lifestyle modifications to our patients, but then move on to the next lesson. How do we cross this divide so that we can provide our patients with the support, education, and resources that they need? That’s where today’s guest comes in!

Colleen Sloan is a PA and Registered Dietician. She explains the difference between a dietician and a nutritionist and when it’s beneficial to refer patients to a registered dietician. Colleen goes into detail on how PAs can address weight and nutrition in an office visit, including questions to ask both your adult and pediatric patients. Listen in to hear the dos and don’ts of how to respectfully cover a very sensitive topic. As a bonus, Colleen also gives us actionable tips on how we as busy clinicians can improve our own nutrition.
