📚About the Program
Overview
McGill’s School of Human Nutrition is Canada’s longest established teaching and research institution in the field of human nutrition. Our driving mission is to improve human health by understanding nutrients, health, environment and society. We train future leaders in areas like dietetics, nutrition, food function, food security, global nutrition, and nutritional biochemistry in health.
The Dietetics Major is a 3.5 year (115 credit) accredited, professional program that leads to qualification to become licensed as a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist. You will gain hands-on experience through 40 weeks of supervised internships (stages) in various domains including clinical, community nutrition and food service systems management.
This program is accredited by the Partnership for Dietetic Education and Practice (PDEP) and is based on the Integrated Competencies for Dietetic Education and practice (ICDEP) and the requirements of the provincial regulatory body, the Ordre professionnel des diététistes du Québec (OPDQ).
Upon completion, graduates are eligible to become registered with the Ordre professionnel des diététistes du Québec (OPDQ) and/or another provincial regulatory body in Canada. Note that in order to become a member of OPDQ, there is a French language requirement. Regulatory bodies in other provinces (except Quebec) require successful completion of a national exam (CDRE) for new graduates who wish to register for the first time.
