Master's Degree in Diet Therapy
Dietotherapy is based on the principles of human nutrition, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology, and is applied in the management of a wide range of diseases and health disorders, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, food allergies, cancer, and obesity. The application of dietotherapy involves planning an appropriate, balanced, and individualized diet for each patient, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients while avoiding those that could worsen their health condition. The process of applying dietotherapy begins with evaluating the patient's nutritional status, including their eating habits, medical history, diseases, and medications they are currently taking. After the assessment, a suitable diet is planned, and a follow-up plan is established to monitor the results of the treatment.
Discover the Latest Advances in Dietotherapy through this Advanced Master’s Program for Physicians
Dietotherapy is an effective tool in managing diseases and health disorders and is applied by planning an individualized and appropriate diet for each patient. It is an important complement to conventional treatments and contributes to the well-being and recovery of patients. At TECH Global University, we have designed a Master’s Degree that will focus on studying clinical nutrition and dietetics for the prevention and treatment of nutrition-related diseases, as well as promoting general health and well-being. The program aims to provide students with comprehensive training in advanced nutrition, nutritional therapy, nutritional pathologies, culinary techniques, clinical dietetics, and nutritional assessment, among other topics. The goal is to equip students with the tools and skills necessary to evaluate and address the specific nutritional needs of patients with various pathologies and design personalized therapeutic diets to improve their health.
