The NNEdPro-IANE Cambridge Summer School and Foundation Certificate in Applied Human Nutrition is designed to address this vital aspect of healthcare by providing comprehensive nutrition training to equip healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills in nutrition. It encompasses a broad spectrum of basic nutritional concepts, their applications in healthcare, policy, and prevention, and bridging the gap between basic science and clinical practice.
The topics include:
Basic Concepts in Human Nutrition
Including fundamental concepts in human nutrition, dietary assessment, body composition, and energy metabolism.
Nutrition Research Methods
Focusing on various research methods used in nutrition, such as nutritional epidemiology, nutrigenetics, nutrigenomics, and the study of diet-microbe interactions in the gut.
Nutrition in Disease Prevention
Exploring the role of nutrition in preventing non-communicable diseases, musculoskeletal health, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Nutrition in Healthcare
Delving into topics such as hydration and clinical leadership, clinical ethics, malnutrition in practice, and the impact of nutrition on ageing.
Nutrition Public Health and Policy
Examining global nutrition, regulations on nutrition and health claims, policy formulation, and the role of the industry in nutrition.
The Summer School offers a flexible learning experience that combines online and in-person elements. Participants can study independently using pre-recorded lectures and a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), followed by the opportunity to attend face-to-face mentoring and Q&A sessions in Cambridge. The VLE is a platform that not only makes educational content accessible but also allows students to connect and collaborate. This course is a great way to make the best of your summer break and gain valuable insights into the world of knowledge!
Attending the course will allow you to learn from the best in the field. Our team includes a world-class faculty with leading global nutrition experts. Check out the list here.
