Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the compatibility between teaching in graduation and professional practice of nutritionists who supervise curricular internships at food services. The study was conducted at the Nutrition course of Federal University of Pampa through the following steps: 1) Interview with the nutritionists who had supervisioned curricular internships at food services; 2) Analysis of the subjects of teaching programs from seven courses related with the area of interest; 3) Evaluation of compatibility between subjects of these courses and professional practice. Four nutritionists participated, and a partial compatibility between the subjects and the professional activities was observed. Some subjects were not mentioned, although they are required by professional legislation. Unlike the practice, the theory approach was more technical. It is suggested, hence, to broaden the subject approach, considering the operationalization of knowledge as a way to bring them closer to professional practice.
