description Patient education is a necessary component of quality health care, yet little attention has been given to the preparation of health educators to work in that setting. This study seeks to determine the status of and content in patient education courses offered in professional preparation programs. Results show that 9% of respondents offered a patient education course in their academic unit, whereas 18% indicated that such a course was offered in another unit on campus. It appears there is not agreement between university faculty members and practicing patient educators on what should be taught in such a course. In addition, no significant relationship is found between (a) programs with accreditation or approval and offering a patient education course and (b) programs that prepared students for the Certified Health Education Specialist examination and offering a patient education course. Recommendations are offered for improving the preparation of health educators for the medical care setting.
