The primary mission of the Department of Clinical Nutrition is to educate nutrition experts, leaders, and advocates. Students are prepared to integrate empirically-based nutrition knowledge in practice, provide medical nutrition therapy to individuals and groups in a variety of settings, advocate for nutrition-related issues, contribute to the dietetics body of knowledge through research, and serve as leaders within the profession.
The philosophy of the department parallels that of the Medical Center in that the academic component is fully integrated with the health care function of the institution. The faculty is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and clinical care and strives to be visionary in meeting the future needs of the profession in a changing health care environment.
