This unit of study consists of two components; a lecture program in medical nutrition therapy presented by specialist dietitians and medical doctors and a series of integrated practical workshops, simulation clinics and hospital orientation sessions. Students will learn to apply the knowledge gained from the lecture program combined with the counselling and communication skills and dietary assessment techniques learned in first semester, to the Nutrition Care Process of 1. Assessment, 2. Diagnosis, 3. Intervention, and 4. Monitoring and Evaluation. Students will learn to individualise evidence-based interventions to improve nutrition outcomes in various medical conditions via traditional face-to-face care and a range of telehealth media. The importance of client focused factors in dietary modification (including cultural awareness of peoples from culturally and linguistically diverse and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, strengths-based approaches and respectful communication); education and interpretation of theory for client understanding are key discussion points. Students will be required to complete verification requirements for placement.
