This course provides the opportunity for students to gain pre- professional experiences that are designed to allow students to apply knowledge and skills in assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating nutrition care delivery systems.

A DHN 480 Learning Contract developed by the student and approved by the mentor and instructor will guide the individualized experience. A minimum of 60 supervised practice hours will constitute one semester credit hour.
