— Offered by College of Education and Health Professions and Eleanor Mann School of Nursing —

Learn basic nutrition principles and how they can be applied to health maintenance, disease prevention and even disease treatment. This course offers a wholistic perspective that can be applied even while considering dietary preferences and restrictions.

Trends in practice and current treatment modalities continue to focus on pharmacological interventions while minimizing the role of nutrition for the prevention and treatment of disease. Learners have expressed an interest in expanding their understanding of tailoring nutrition to diseased and well populations. Additionally, subject matter experts recommend the implementation of personalized eating plans.
