About Course

The Nutrition II course aims to provide physicians with up-to-date knowledge on supportive care and nutritional assessment in hospital/outpatient settings for the treatment of patients suffering from intestinal failure.

This specialization covers all aspects of nutrition in order to train a highly skilled professional capable of efficiently adapting the gut using medical nutrition techniques, such as supplementation, and understanding the main biochemical, physiological, and hormonal imbalances, etc.

Because it is a medical specialty not yet included in the undergraduate medical curriculum, there is a shortage of professionals specialized in or knowledgeable in the area. However, the responsibilities of the multidisciplinary Nutritional Therapy team were established by ANVISA Ordinance 272/1998. This team is responsible for providing nutritional support and assessment in hospitals/outpatient settings.

Upon completion of the course, you will be qualified to work with excellence in the field of Nutrition.
