Physicians representing the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) today issued a position statement strongly recommending enhanced medical doctor training for and renewed focus on treatment of patients’ clinical nutrition needs. “At a time when the prevalence of nutrition-related illnesses is escalating significantly, both with ambulatory and hospitalized patients, many medical societies are reporting an inadequate number of physician members trained in this important specialty,” said M. Molly McMahon, M.D., FACE, professor of medicine with Mayo Clinic Rochester’s Division of Endocrinology.
