Clinical nutritionists integrate traditional food wisdom and current scientific evidence to motivate individuals and communities to eat well and live healthier lives.
The Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine) is supported by a strong underpinning of biological and social sciences subjects. Your studies broaden throughout the degree to include nutritional biochemistry, weight management, clinical nutrition, dietary planning, sports nutrition, nutritional physiology research and public health nutrition. These theories and concepts are put into practise through developing clinical skills and clinical experience in Endeavour's Teaching Clinics.
Graduate Nutritionists may choose to enter clinical practise, either in private practise or in an integrative or other healthcare settings. Nutritionists are also entering industry-based roles in areas such as product development, education, corporate health and nutraceutical sales and marketing.
This degree does not meet the professional accreditation requirements of the Dietitian's Association of Australia (DAA) for graduates to practise as an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD).
Endeavour College offers the flexibility to commence all 1st year subjects online with an updated digital delivery model. With the support of online tutors and a robust Learning Management System, you can fit study around your work and/or personal commitments.
To support learning, students attend practical classes where they are expected to practise interviewing and case assessment techniques, as well as physical clinical examination and treatment procedures. This is conducted under the supervision of qualified instructors and with respect for privacy, cultural and religious differences. Students gain significant clinical experience at Endeavour's Teaching Clinics under the supervision of qualified practitioners.
In the clinics, students will develop and hone all skills required for professional clinical practise (and to run a successful clinic after graduation), including patient assessment and management, patient recruitment and continuity of care, customer service and dispensary management.
