Training and Education
The Division of Nutrition Therapy at Cincinnati Children’s is a leader in the education and training of aspiring dietetic technicians and dietitians, as well as other healthcare professionals.
Each year our dietitians provide observations and learning opportunities for high school and college students. Students observe the varied roles of nutrition professionals and how they contribute to successful patient outcomes.
Nutrition therapy provides training for dietetic technician students from Cincinnati State. These students train with dietetic technicians in varied clinical settings.
Dietetic interns from local and long-distance dietetic internship programs spend a minimum of one week at Cincinnati Children’s surveying the practice of pediatric dietitians. Nutrition therapy partners with the University of Cincinnati Coordinated Program in Dietetics and offers an extended, in-depth experience for selected dietetic interns.
Dietitians in nutrition therapy work with physicians who are interested in advanced nutrition training as a component of the pediatric fellowship in gastroenterology at Cincinnati Children’s. International medical observers who desire training in pediatric nutrition may also train with staff dietitians.
