Abstract
Dietetics education plays a critical role in preparing students and interns for successful careers in the field of nutrition and healthcare. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of incorporating patient simulations into dietetics curricula to enhance communication and nutrition-care skills. This article explores the benefits and significance of using patient simulations as a teaching tool, highlighting their role in bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world practice. Through patient simulations, students and interns can develop essential skills, improve patient interactions, and gain practical experience in nutrition assessment, intervention, and counseling.
