A.MingazovR. N.MingazovaE. N.310820253381682129092025Copyright © 1970,1970The article presents an analysis of modern approaches to the training of nutrition specialists, which identifies two interrelated trends: the constant tightening of educational requirements and gradual professionalization. Using the example of foreign countries, the fundamental difference between clinical nutritionists working directly in medicine and nutritionists whose activities cover a wider range of practices is shown. At the same time, it is noted that the integration of nutrition specialists into comprehensive medical care programs is of particular importance. Their participation in the prevention and treatment of alimentary dependent diseases demonstrates particular effectiveness when dealing with metabolic disorders and chronic forms of diseases. However, the continuing differences in training standards, especially in the field of nutrition, indicate the need for further unification of professional requirements. Further development of nutrition specialist training should be based on the principles of scientific validity and standardization of professional competencies.nutrition specialists, dietitians, nutritionists, professional training, education differentiation, dietetic community, healthcare systemспециалисты по питаниюврачи диетологинутрициологипрофессиональная подготовкадифференциация образованиядиетологическое сообществосистема здравоохранения1.Aboueid S., Gioux I., Ratti S., Hermosura B.
