Course presentation

The number of people following a vegetarian diet is on the increase, as are consultations with doctors and dietitians-nutritionists. On the one hand, the undergraduate degree training in this subject in most courses of healthcare study is clearly insufficient to thoroughly and ethically meet the demands and needs of this group. On the other hand, information often appears in the media and on social media relating to vegetarianism that is controversial, alarmist and often poorly supported by scientific evidence. This can lead to worry and concern among health professionals, which needs to be addressed with up-to-date training in vegetarian diet and nutrition.

Objectives

Promote training in dietary recommendations for vegetarian eating based on the most current scientific evidence, taking into account the most common types of vegetarian diet in our environment and the profile of the persons seeking advice

Recognize the key nutrients in vegetarian food and learn their means of absorption and bioavailability

Learn about specificities, composition, rations... of the key foods in the vegetarian diet

Adapt dietary guidelines in the vegetarian diet in healthy adults, at different ages, physiological and pathological situations (pregnancy, early childhood, the elderly, pathologies, sports, etc.)

Who is it for?

Graduates in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, as well as 3rd and 4th year undergraduate degree students
