Maternal and Child Clinical Nutrition

Specialization in Maternal and Child Clinical Nutrition

This course is for those who want security, recognition and real impact in maternal and child clinical practice.

Caring for pregnant women, babies, and children requires technical preparation, practice, clinical insight, and constant updating. Many nutritionists report feeling insecure about working in this highly specialized field—especially at the beginning of their careers or during a professional transition.

The USP Postgraduate Program in Maternal and Child Nutrition was created to address precisely this: to train confident, capable professionals ready to apply scientific evidence in their daily practice. You'll graduate with technical expertise and clarity to care for everyone from pregnant and lactating women to children and adolescents—with or without associated clinical conditions.

With over 480 hours of teaching, the course offers:

• Classes with leading USP experts
• Practical internship at the Institute for Children and Adolescents (ICr-HCFMUSP)
• Real-life application of diet therapy in childhood and pregnancy diseases
• Training in nutritional assessment and supplementation
• Additional content on entrepreneurship, marketing and practice structuring

In addition to filling a gap in traditional training, the specialization also connects you to one of the most respected healthcare centers in Latin America—opening doors to new opportunities and professional recognition.

If you want more than theory and certificates—you want the confidence to perform with excellence—this is the training for you.
