Length of nutritional assessment appointment

What is the right length of an initial nutritional assessment? At my clinic they want to make the appointments 30 mins instead of 60 minutes to see the nutritionist for the first time, but that seems very inadequate.

30 minutes is about how much a patient can retain. Suggest developing a shorter nutritional assessment form for quick assessment. You should have information from the MD ahead of time that would shorten the length of time doing the assessment. Then educate them on the most important aspects that are pertinent to their disease state. Have them come in for other education sessions, as needed.
