Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition - Dietetic Integrated Track
Clinical dietitians focus on improving patients’ nutritional health by addressing the relationship between food and well-being; they work closely with the patient and the health care team to design an individualized nutrition plan that suits the patient’s needs and/or medical condition(s).
The Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition – Dietetic Integrated track provides students with the supervised experiential learning and didactic coursework needed to meet the core competencies for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). Graduates are eligible to take the National Examination for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists upon completion of the program.
Our 21-month program provides coursework and supervised experiential learning opportunities in the areas of clinical nutrition care, food service management, community nutrition, and research. These diverse learning opportunities take place within the RUSH University Medical Center system as well as multiple hospitals and community agencies within the Chicagoland area.
The RUSH University Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition with Dietetic Internship program will be closing May 31, 2024 and transitioning to the RUSH University Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition - Dietetic Integrated Track program.
