Dalla Lana School of Public Health

The Public Health Nutrition Emphasis is currently not being offered.

Even though this emphasis is currently not being offered, our students have been placed in other governmental agencies, e.g. Peterborough Public Health, Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Health Canada, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. In addition, NFS 1201H Public Health Nutrition is an elective open to all MPH Nutrition & Dietetics students.

The Public Health Nutrition Emphasis in the MPH Nutrition and Dietetics program requires:

· A minimum of 8 weeks spent in placement in a regional, provincial or federal public health agency (vs the minimum 4 weeks required of all MPH Nutrition and Dietetics candidates, in various population/public health settings in the community);

· An additional course requirement of NFS1201H Public Health Nutrition; and

· A relevant assignment for an appropriate agency focused on public health nutrition (to be approved by program director/course instructor), for CHL5656Y Nutrition and Dietetics Culminating Project. The nature of the project assignment will need to be carefully aligned with the learning needs of students registered in an emphasis.
