	In Year 3, the clerkships offer learning opportunities that emphasize the importance of nutrition in health care. The nutrition-related opportunities vary among the clerkships and may include lectures, case discussions, case study papers, taste tests, student presentations, or interactive on-line case studies.

The clerkships address nutrition topics that are relevant to their patient population, such as: Ob/Gyn: Nutrition & gestational diabetes Pediatric: Nutrition during infancy (e.g., breastfeeding) Family Medicine: Over-the-counter supplements (e.g. fiber supplements) Internal Medicine: Nutrition & cardiovascular disease Surgery: Nutrition support (enteral & parenteral nutrition) Psychiatry: Weight management In Year 4, a Clinical Nutrition Elective is offered in the Spring.
