Description Dietary and nutritional aspects of allergic diseases often need consideration in patient management. This subject provides students with a detailed understanding of nutritional fundamentals and requirements especially for children and adults with food allergy. Online learning materials and case discussion facilitated by an experienced dietitian will promote essential knowledge and practical skills. Modules will provide the latest evidence on nutritional basics, weight management, diagnosis and management of food allergies and intolerances, food labelling, and early infant feeding recommendations. This content will complement the clinical experiences in the Master of Medicine (Allergic Diseases) and enhance clinical allergy practice.
