The health care system in the United States has gained attention for concerns related to high costs and poor outcomes. In 2003, citing inadequate preparation of health professionals, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) introduced five core competencies designed to be included in the curricula across health care professions. Professions, including nursing and pharmacy, have assessed the degree to which these competencies have been incorporated into their educational programs. However, little is known about the degree to which these competencies have been implemented into dietetics education.
