In Year 1, an introductory nutrition lecture is given at the beginning of the academic year. Throughout the year, nutrition issues are included in the case studies that form the foundation of the course Clinical Foundations in Medical Practice 1 (CFMP 1). The Nutrition Notes (a handout for CFMP 1) and case studies address the principles of nutrition assessment and varying nutrient needs during the lifecycle from the prenatal period through infancy, childhood, adolescence, and older adulthood.
Also in Year 1, nutrition-related questions are included in the medical interview. A variety of nutrition topics are included in other course lectures and group discussions, such as in Biochemistry. In Year 2, Nutrition in Disease is one of the components of the course Clinical Foundations in Medical Practice 2 (CFMP 2). Six lectures address nutrition interventions for obesity, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, renal disease, and enteral & parenteral nutrition support. Each student will apply the principles of medical nutrition therapy by answering case-related questions pertaining to the disorders discussed in class. In CFMP 2, nutrition information may also be applied in the clinical assessment activities. |
