May 18 – June 27
NTR3155 / 3 q.h.

This course will include advanced analysis of the problems and considerations involved in establishing, organizing, and operating a nutrition-based business or clinical nutrition practice. The course will focus on tools, techniques, and resources necessary for establishing a business, including developing a business plan, marketing and advertisement, and reimbursement and legal and regulatory matters.

Tricia Silverman, RD, LDN, MBA is the teacher and she is a fantastic woman! I met her at a Nutrition Entrepreneurs DPG mini-meeting in Boston and she knows quite a deal about how to be a successful entrepreneur. You will no doubt learn a ton of applicable career knowledge from her.

So, check it out! It's good to take nutrition-related elective courses and business is a new trend for dietitians these days too!
