The Geriatric Nutrition certificate will educate individuals seeking a career in nutrition with an emphasis on working with seniors. Nutrition is of paramount importance in the prevention, mitigation and sometimes treatment of many acute and chronic diseases and is critical in living a longer, healthier life. Students will be trained to apply dietary recommendations and current nutrition research to optimize the health of seniors; identify common deficiencies in the diets of older people that may be contributing to their ailments; and plan balanced, culturally- and economically-appropriate diets tailored to their unique health needs and lifestyles.
