The BS Human Nutrition and Dietetics program includes 600 hours of supervised practice completed over approximately 15 weeks to provide hands-on experience in clinical nutrition, foodservice management, and community nutrition. Students rotate through Medical Nutrition Therapy (400 hours), Food Service Management (100 hours), and Community Nutrition (100 hours), where they apply theoretical knowledge in hospitals, healthcare facilities, community organizations, and foodservice settings. These rotations develop competencies in patient care, nutrition assessment, foodservice operations, health promotion, and community-based nutrition interventions.
Supervised practice is conducted at affiliated institutions under approved MoUs and is overseen by departmental faculty and qualified site preceptors to ensure students achieve program learning outcomes and professional competencies. Students must comply with the policies, schedules, and professional standards of their assigned training sites, and successful completion of all required practice hours is mandatory for progression and graduation.
The BS Human Nutrition and Dietetics program facilitates supervised practice placements in hospitals, clinics, and community settings through affiliated institutions.
