CHL5656Y: Nutrition and Dietetics Culminating Project

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to reflect upon and demonstrate their learning in the MPH program, explore nutrition issues of interest and real-world need and propose and implement evidence-based recommendations for action against these needs. The focus of this course is a project students will undertake with an external host agency (as an individual or in a pair), related to an emerging or unmet need identified by the agency. Students will apply project management skills using a systems-approach and will reflect on the role of dietitians within the broader food system. Students will exemplify practice competencies across the groupings outlined in the Integrated Competencies for Dietetic Education and Practice (ICDEP 2020). Action on issues addressing the health of our dietetic clients may involve research, establishing and implementing best practices operating at the individual, group or societal level.
