Clinical nutrition training consists of two principal elements, didactic learning and clinical exposure. The didactic learning can occur before, during, or after medical school and residency training. It can be acquired in a formal graduate nutrition degree program such as M.S. or Ph.D., as part of a fellowship, or potentially through independent study. The clinical component must be undertaken after primary residency training is completed. It may occur during a fellowship in nutrition or as a substantial nutrition component of a fellowship in a related subspecialty (principally gastroenterology, endocrinology, critical care medicine, cardiology, or nephrology, although other options may exist). While these settings are likely to offer different emphases, they should all insure that the fellow develops expertise in the care of inpatients and outpatients with a variety of nutrition-related problems, as detailed in IPNEC"s Training Standards for Physician Nutrition Specialists Recommended resources to support both the didactic and clinical components of nutrition training are available in IPNEC"s Curriculum Guide.
Detailed information about nutrition fellowship programs, compiled through a survey conducted by the American Society for Clinical Nutrition’s Committee on Professional Nutrition Education, is available on this website under fellowship programs. ABPNS desires to keep the list current, and therefore invites submission of information about existing fellowship programs, including any that are not currenlty listed. ABPNS also wishes to encourage and facilitate the development of new fellowship programs, and invites persons who are interested in doing so tocontact us.
The University of Chicago Training Program provides a broad practical and scholarly exposure to clinical problems of Gastroenterology as well as in-depth investigative training. The program has a long and consistent history of graduating physicians that are scholarly clinicians as well as prominent laboratory and clinical investigators. Direct and continuous contact with a large, full-time faculty including senior and junior members offers a personal approach to the trainee’s educational, clinical and scientific development. The training program utilizes the extensive clinical and laboratory facilities found at The University of Chicago Medical Center and at our affiliate hospital (Weiss Memorial). Because of The University of Chicago’s reputation as a top rated referral center and our location in the heart of the City of Chicago, there is a broad exposure to common gastrointestinal conditions, as well as unusual and difficult to manage clinical cases.
The Fellowship in Clinical Nutrition is closely associated with the fully accredited three-year fellowship leading to Board Eligibility for Gastroenterology. The duration of training will be 12 months according to the discretion of the training director and trainee.
The Fellowship in Clinical Nutrition will consist of an individualized clinical, basic, or translational research program designed for Gastroenterologists or trainees interested in an academic appointment. The Clinical Nutrition program at The University of Chicago includes faculty, registered dieticians, pharmacists and clinical research nurses engaged in related areas to clinical nutrition. During this period, he/she will become proficient in a selected field of clinical, basic or translational research via direct interaction with a supervising Nutrition faculty member. Those able to obtain valid Illinois licenses will participate in patient care in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
The University of Chicago is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and applications are encouraged from minority groups and physically disadvantaged individuals. Please note applicants must have passed the ECFMG to apply.
The program has been in existence for eight years with a 1 year training program.
