accept nested attributes for has_many relationship

Question

Below are my two model classes

class Patient < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user, :dependent => :destroy
  has_many :enrollments, :dependent =>          


        

Answer 1

I ended up doing the following:

<%= check_box_tag "patient[client_ids][]", client.id, @patient.clients.include?(client) %>

I am not sure if this is the best way...any comments (I had to update my model to include attr_accessible :client_ids
