Clinical nutrition is concerned with therapeutic uses for nutrition, usually in medical settings as part of a complete health care program. Clinical nutritionists and registered dieticians create effective nutrition plans that work toward health outcomes such as disease prevention and treatment, strengthening of the immune system and nourishment of those unable to care for themselves. Clinical nutrition specialists must have expertise in human anatomy and physiology, behavioral sciences and outcomes assessment. |
