About this course
NUTRI-CLINIC
From Nutritional Science to Clinical Practice

Overview
Effective clinical nutrition goes beyond general dietary advice. It requires accurate assessment, an understanding of how medications and medical conditions affect nutritional needs, and the ability to turn evidence into a plan that fits the patient. NUTRI-CLINIC is a practical clinical nutrition program, led by Dr. Ahmed El-Khatieb, that combines online lectures with an in-person workshop to connect nutritional science with day-to-day clinical practice.

Course Content
The program opens with nutrition and obesity assessment, including the recognition of drug-induced obesity, before moving into the food exchange system and diet planning, supported by a case study from inside the clinic.
Participants then explore the drug treatment of obesity, with a focus on trending medications in the GLP-1 era, followed by the role of vitamins and minerals in obesity treatment.
The program continues with Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for hypertension and diabetes, a metabolic syndrome case study, and MNT for sports and underweight.
Dedicated topics address fad diets, pregnancy care nutrition, and childhood nutrition.
The program concludes with a practical hands-on workshop that brings the course concepts into real-world application.
