This course will acquaint students with general concepts in nutrition that relate to physical activity, injury prevention and rehabilitation. The content of the course is organized in such a way that students can progress logically from knowledge of basic human nutrition processes to the specific nutrition related issues commonly observed in physically active individuals and nutritional needs to prevent injury and aid healing following injury.

The course will cover the classification, brief history and the impact of nutraceuticals and functional foods on health and disease. An example of nutraceuticals to be covered in the course include isoprenoids, isoflavones, flavanoids, carotenoids, lycopene, garlic, omega 3 fatty acids, sphingolipids, vitamin E and antioxidants, S-adnosyl-L-methionine, CLA, creatine, herbal products in foods and lipoic acid.

An interdisciplinary/interprofessional approach to applied and medical nutrition therapy and its role in primary, secondary, and tertiary health care delivery. Covers the fundamental principles and concepts of nutrition science as applied to the human life cycle. Prereq: Undergraduate junior, senior and/or graduate students planning to enroll and/or who are currently enrolled in the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Public Health and/or Health Sciences.

The material covered in NS/CNU/AS 602 consists of two major emphasis areas: (1) properties, biological functions, and metabolism of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds (micronutrients), and (2) influence of functional interactions with these and other nutrients on health and disease. The objective of this course is to provide students with a strong knowledge base related to micronutrient metabolism in the context of select conditions and energy balance.

The material covered in CNU 611 consists of advanced study of the principles of nutrition in acute and chronic diseases. The relationships between nutrition and the biochemical, physiological, and anatomical changes associated with select acute and chronic illness, surgery, and trauma will be covered. Case-based discussions, assignments, projects, and presentations will use an evidence-based approach. Nutrition screening and assessment, malnutrition, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, oncology, nutrition support, critical care, and GI and renal diseases will be covered.

Selected topics in nutritional sciences related to health and chronic diseases, e.g., autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer. This course will explore the pathophysiology of chronic diseases influenced by nutrition and discuss mechanisms underlying nutritional approaches for prevention and intervention.

The material covered in CNU 702 via readings and the various clinical and/or community-based rotation (s), the student will complete the Nutrition Care Process on individual(s) beginning with Nutrition Assessment (Anthropometric, Biochemical, Clinical, Dietary, and Environmental data) followed by Nutrition Diagnosis, Nutrition Intervention, Nutrition Monitoring and Evaluation as applicable. Students will present these findings in 1 writing assignment (about one patient) and 1 presentation (about a different patient) per credit hour enrolled.
