NUTR 334B MNT II: Application of Medical Nutrition Therapy in Disease
This course applies the foundational aspects learned in MNT I to a variety of conditions and disease states. The course examines selected pathophysiologic concepts, including mechanisms of disease causation; immune processes; cellular growth and proliferation; and dysfunctions of the circulatory, respiratory, gastrointestinal, nervous, renal, hepatic, and endocrine systems. Using a case-based approach, students will utilize the nutrition care process to develop care plans in various disease states. Includes 3 hour lecture.
