Clinical Nutrition
Currently the Friedman School of Nutrition does not offer a clinical nutrition program for non-clinicians.
If you are a clinician with a professional credential (recent examples include MD, DVM, RD, and RN), and are interested in entering a graduate degree program that provides a strong biological science training in nutrition, we encourage you to apply for the Nutritional Biochemistry and Metabolism Program. Available research opportunities through this program are in basic science, animal and human studies. There are few funded research opportunities within the Friedman School of Nutrition that utilize patient populations. If you are a clinician and are interested in a nutrition fellowship, please contact Joel Mason, M.D., regarding the NIH-funded clinical nutrition training grant that provides successful candidates with access to the Friedman School of Nutrition courses and research opportunities.
For individuals with no clinical credential, the Friedman School of Nutrition does not currently provide funded opportunities for research in patient populations. A number of our graduates have continued their training in a clinical program, such as medicine. Alternatively, qualified individuals with the appropriate undergraduate coursework can apply to the Frances Stern Nutrition Center at the New England Medical Center and the Friedman School to join the Combined Dietetic Internship/Master's degree program leading to an R.D. and MS degree.
