Introduction:
An understanding of human nutrition is
important to maximize the health of individuals
in today’s diverse society that faces nutritionrelated diseases of both deficiency and excess. A
complete understanding of human nutrition is
built on knowledge of its fundamental biological
and biochemical basis. It also involves an
understanding of other influences (like
psychological, cultural and behavioral) that
affect food consumption, and therefore, human
well being.
The important role of nutrition in maintaining
good health and disease management is
undoubted and it is becoming a gold standard in
medical practice. Therefore it is inevitable that
medical and health care professionals are
provided with updated knowledge in nutrition
appropriate for medical counselling in disease
prevention and management. However, in most
of medical and other health science specialties
nutrition is not given due importance.

effort to bridge the gap of nutrition in education
of health professionals.
This course is intended primarily for
professionals working in Medicine, Ayurveda,
Unani, Homeopath in the specialties of
Pediatrics,

need knowledge in basic and clinical Nutrition as
it applies to disease pathogenesis and patient
care.
This course integrates basic and clinical
nutritional principles as well as outlines the
diagnosis and evaluation of nutritional disorders.
This will require basic knowledge of
pathophysiology, biochemical and clinical
knowledge relevant to the most common
nutritional diseases affecting different health
systems. The participants will be given a
thorough knowledge of basic nutrition and
nutritional diseases which will help them in
