In this course, students explore various pediatric genetic conditions, such as inborn errors of metabolism, where nutrition intervention is an important component of treatment management.

Students learn to apply medical nutrition therapy to a variety of pediatric conditions with an emphasis on current research. Students explore the components of healthy diets for infants, children and adolescents and learn how to assess growth and development using growth charts.

Practical aspects of research on topics related to nutrition, foods, or food management. Students assist a faculty member with an ongoing research project. Depending on the nature of the specific project and the time available for assistance, qualified students may participate in one or more components of the research: study design bibliographic retrieval, data collection, data analysis, or writing for publication. Permission of sponsoring professor required.

Students apply theory, research design, data analysis, and interpretation to develop and conduct an independent research project.
