“Medical Nutrition Therapy in Clinical Practice: Enhancing patient outcomes" is presented by Robyn Kovacs, MS, RDN, LD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Nutrition at UNT Health Fort Worth.
Although a significant proportion of Americans live with one or more chronic disease, the critical role of nutrition in risk reduction and disease management is often underappreciated. Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based approach used for the management of a variety of health conditions. Despite its effectiveness in enhancing individual health and well-being, MNT is often underutilized.
This presentation introduces participants to the foundational principles of MNT and highlights how it differs from general nutrition education or wellness advice. Attendees gain insight into the specialized role of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in the development of an individualized plan of care and nutrition therapy interventions. This session explores conditions such as diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, and gastrointestinal disorders, for which MNT is particularly effective. Finally, the value of interdisciplinary collaboration is discussed by highlighting how the integration of MNT provided by the RDN, as part of the healthcare team, contributes to improved patient/client outcomes.
This class is for educational and informational purposes in alignment with NNLM goals and does not offer medical advice. This presentation addresses increasing health information and the NNLM goal to advance the progress of medicine and improve public health by providing U.S. health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving individuals' access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health.
