MUIH’s Doctor of Clinical Nutrition RD/RDN-DCN Pathway provides opportunities for registered dietitians to accelerate their career goals.
Laurel, MD – March 30, 2022 – In honor of National Credit Education Month and National Nutrition Month, Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) is promoting their RD/RDN-DCN Pathway, an opportunity for Registered Dietitians (RDs)/Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) to earn their Doctor of Clinical Nutrition in a little over two and a half years without first having to earn a master’s degree.
“Students learn a model of individualized nutrition-based care that addresses the root causes of illness and disease, and is applicable to the chronic, complex health issues that are prevalent today,” notes Dr. James Snow, Interim Department Chair for Nutrition.
This program provides RD/RDNs whose highest degree is a bachelor’s the opportunity to “fast track” their pathway to becoming a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) in a program that focuses on contemporary perspectives in functional nutrition.
As one of the leading academic institutions for integrative health in the nation, MUIH is consistently developing programs that meet the needs of their students, alumni, and the marketplace. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a shift across all professions and many people are searching for meaningful ways to re-position themselves to meet market demands in the most time-effective manner possible.
