Clinical Staffing Issues

Most dietetics professionals who work in a clinical setting have concerns about staffing: How many staff members are needed? What skill sets do staff members need? Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. That's why the Clinical Nutrition Management Dietetic Practice Group and the Academy Research Committee have initiated a research study on clinical staffing.
