The Critical Care Medical Nutrition Therapy (CC-MNT) concentration is an excellent choice for interns who want to expand their knowledge of working with a critically ill population. Interns matched to the CC-MNT concentration will rotate through all core clinical rotations before spending an additional 160 hours working with the critically ill population. Interns will learn to complete advanced level nutrition assessments on patients with multiple comorbidities and spend extended time in intensive care units with nutrition support patients. They will practice how to perform physical assessments on critically ill patients, screen for malnutrition, and represent the nutrition department during medical rounds. Interns will also work with a respiratory therapist to increase their knowledge of working with mechanically ventilated patients and interpretation of ABG’s. Additional activities include attending wound rounds, observing enteral feeding tube placements, and the insertion of PICC lines. This concentration is a great choice to prepare interns for a job in a clinical nutrition setting.
