Course description
Dietitians work across many different domains of practice and are skilled in being able to communicate nutrition science to the public which means they need to have extensive and contemporary skills and knowledge in nutrition science. The science of nutrition is constantly evolving with new knowledge such as the influence of the microbiome and maternal diet on health outcomes of offspring are examples where advice to public alters in light of new findings. This course prepares students for complexity and contemporary thinking about diet and its multitude of influences. This course takes a systems approach to explore contemporary nutrition issues such as personized nutrition based on individual genetics, how new food developments impact on food law and food regulations and how we may use sustainability as a lens in which to influence the food supply. This course is designed to challenge your thinking and prepare you for the fast moving world of nutrition science and its application.
