Traditional graduate programs in nutrition and dietetics in Taiwan cultivate professionals and specialists in the fields of food and nutrition. At the undergraduate level, although students possess comprehensive nutritional and medical knowledge, they are often deficient in skills related to clinical nutrition therapies. To develop undergraduate student potential in this area, the Department of Nutrition of Chung Shan Medical University, established an elective course entitled ＂Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) for nutrition professionals＂ for third-year students and above. The objectives of this course are to help students understand what they will be doing in their future careers and to prepare them for hospital internships. The focus of this article is on the curriculum, training process and effectiveness of this course. Based on the results, this course should be considered an internship opportunity in undergraduate clinical nutrition education.
