Zilber College faculty are integrating simulation-based learning into the Nutrition & Dietetics MPH program. Using the James and Yvonne Ziemer Clinical Simulation Center, students engage in realistic patient scenarios, interacting with faculty or student actors portraying individuals with different disease states. This hands-on experience bridges the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world clinical practice.
This Spring semester, students participated in a skills lab focused on feeding tubes, pumps, and other medical nutrition equipment. These practical experiences provide invaluable training, ensuring students are well-prepared for their future careers in nutrition and dietetics.
