NUTR6067

Real-world patients often present with complex medical and social histories, comorbidities, individual health beliefs and values, and other complexities that do not fit within simple, clear clinical guidelines, or have clinical conditions for which research and clinical guidelines for nutrition therapy are lacking. Thus, clinical decision-making is an essential skill for evidence-based dietetics practice. In this course, students will apply current research, evidence-based guidelines, foundational knowledge in medical nutrition therapy, ethical practice principles, and critical thinking skills to work through a variety of complex clinical case studies using the steps of the Nutrition Care Process.
