A required course which allows the student to design a research study, write a grant, prepare a comprehensive literature review, design a survey, conduct statistical analyses on collected data, and prepare a professional article and poster to present at University and regional events. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.

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. Student experiences will include opportunities to link theory and practice while developing the skills and attitudes essential to practice in the dietetics profession. Placement in experiential settings must have the approval of the instructor before the student will be allowed to start at the site.

Application of biochemistry, physiology and nutrition to the understanding of the utilization and function of nutrients in the body as related to the structure, function and metabolic needs of cells/organ systems.

This course explores changes in nutrient metabolism related to biochemical and physiological alterations in disease conditions and application of the Nutrition Care Process. Content includes case study evaluations, medical nutrition therapies for disease conditions, and current research in the field.

This course focuses on the fundamentals used in evidence-based practice for nutrition research in multiple settings. Students explore research opportunities while developing critical thinking skills through readings, writings, and discussions. Course topics include research ethics, study design, problem statement development, qualitative/quantitative methods, patient/population, intervention(s), comparison, and outcomes proposal for subsequent evidence-based practice project courses (DHN 581 and 680).

Students will participate in evidence-based practice project activities including completion of a mock Institutional Review Board (IRB) application and finalizing the evidence-based practice project problem statement, patient/population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. As well, students will review and apply quantitative and qualitative research design methods. This course will utilize content covered in DHN 580 and will prepare a student for success in their final evidence-based practice project in DHN 680.
