About the Course:

The PG Diploma in Clinical & Therapeutic Nutrition is an intensive 1-year program designed to build deep clinical expertise in managing medical conditions through advanced nutrition therapy.

The curriculum integrates pathophysiology, clinical biochemistry, disease-specific dietary interventions, medical nutrition therapy (MNT), functional nutrition concepts, therapeutic menu planning, and real-world case applications. Students learn to interpret lab reports, assess nutritional status, manage complex clinical cases, and design evidence-based diets for metabolic, endocrine, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, autoimmune, pediatric, and geriatric conditions.

The 3-month internship provides hands-on exposure to real patient data, case analysis, and practical therapeutic nutrition planning.

Course Objectives :

To establish a strong foundation in clinical nutrition science and therapeutic dietetics.
To teach the pathophysiology of major diseases and their nutritional implications.
To develop expertise in Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) across clinical specializations.
To train students to interpret clinical lab tests and biomarkers for nutritional decisions.
To understand disease progression and nutritional risk factors.
To teach anthropometric assessments and clinical nutritional evaluation.
To build skills in designing therapeutic diets for hospitals and outpatient settings.
To integrate functional and evidence-based nutrition into clinical practice.
To understand drug–nutrient interactions and safe supplementation.
To manage metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia.
To design diets for renal, hepatic, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and endocrine disorders.
To teach nutrition support: enteral feeds, parenteral considerations, and critical care planning.
To explore nutritional management of pediatric, geriatric, and pregnancy-related clinical conditions.
To build clinical documentation, case-writing, and patient counseling skills.
To prepare students for real-world clinical internships and professional practice.
