In honor of National Credit Education Month and National Nutrition Month, Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) is promoting its RD/RDN-DCN Pathway, an opportunity for registered dietitians (RDs) and registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) to earn their Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN)  in a little over two and a half years without first having to earn a master’s degree.

“Students learn a model of individualized nutrition-based care that addresses the root causes of illness and disease, and is applicable to the chronic, complex health issues that are prevalent today,” noted Dr. James Snow, interim department chair for nutrition.

This program provides RD/RDNs whose highest degree is a bachelor’s the opportunity to “fast track” their pathway to becoming a DCN in a program that focuses on contemporary perspectives in functional nutrition.
