Course objectives

The aim of instruction in the course of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics is to acquaint students of the Bachelor study programme with various possibilities and ways of nutritional intervention in individuals with nutrition disorders (malnutrition in the wider sense of the word). The curriculum comprises both the problems of undernourishment (protein-energy malnutrition) and problems of hypernutrition, obesity, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Also included are the most frequent defects of metabolism. In each of the above-mentioned areas, instruction comprises both a detailed diagnostics of the respective nutrition disorder and the possibilities of its treatment in current clinical practice. At the same time the whole instruction in the course of Clinical Nutrition is oriented towards the practical ways of utilising the knowledge obtained. With regard to undernourishment, stress is laid on the diagnosis of protein-energy malnutrition and on the standard way of evaluation of the degree of severity of this disorder. Basing on this, various forms of nutritional support are taught with emphasis on correct application of artificial nutrition. The study comprises both the various ways of dietary intervention and peroral supplementation with nutrition preparations, and the ways of enteral nutrition delivered into the gastrointestinal tract by means of a probe, as well as parenteral nutrition applied into the vein by infusions. In all cases provision of nutritional support to hospitalised patients in hospital conditions is analysed separately, and so is long-term provision of domestic artificial nutrition in outpatient conditions. A part of the course is formed by monitoring the patient during the administration of artificial nutrition, both with regard to its effect and the possible undesirable effects and complications. With respect to obesity, the curriculum is primarily devoted to the clinically severe disorder with the necessity of intervention by very low calorie diet, or pharmacological or surgical interventions. The set of problems relating to metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia is taught in its whole extent.

Learning outcomes

Student will be able to identify the nutritional problem after graduation, to apply various ways of dietary intervention, their monitoring and evaluation. He will also be able to understand the results of clinical research.
