Subspecialization as part of the nutrition development process

Abstract

Professions emerge to address specific problems. Over time, as knowledge accumulates, a need arises to delve deeper into the subject matter and specialize. Over the past two decades, this process has influenced the field of nutrition, driving the creation of various specializations. These offer significant benefits for patients and, naturally, have a substantial impact on the positioning of nutritionists within interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams. It remains to be seen whether these new specializations actually represent a substantial improvement in the approach to treating diseases.
