This supervised experiential learning course will provide practical, professional experiences such as performing nutritional assessments, including the NFPE of patients with simple to complex medical conditions. Included in this course is development of skills to meet competencies related to the nutrition care process with nutrition diagnosis, nutrition therapy implementation including counseling and monitoring/evaluation of the impact of nutrition interventions.

5 credits

Prerequisite(s): Admission in program code HFPMS or HFPZM and HFN 515 . HFN 594  is a continuation of this course. Students work with Stony Brook faculty and their on-site preceptors to plan which assignments and summative evaluations will be completed in this course, as well as HFN 594 . This will determine in which course performance indicators will be tracked, although it is recognized that there will likely be overlap. This course will integrate and apply concepts and skills from didactic coursework in the Nutrition Therapy unit.
