Mentorships are designed to provide practical experiences to help students explore various career opportunities and/or improve practical knowledge and skills within the field of nutrition. During a mentorship, students work under the supervision of a credentialed nutritionist or other health care professional in a nutritional practice environment. Students are responsible for finding a licensed health practitioner who will serve as their mentor. The supervised experience must total at least 66 hours and may include observational experience in the following categories: nutritional assessment, intervention, education, counseling or management, and monitoring or evaluation. Optionally, students may extend the mentorship as high as 335 hours. Only two credits per quarter will be awarded, no matter how many additional hours above the minimum 66 hours are involved.
