This webinar is designed for you to explore your questions and unveil the opportunities out there.

As questions arise, let them be your guide to vision and purpose. Jot them down.

Later, you can reframe your questions as compelling principles that guide you to action.

Clinical Nutrition

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Using nutrition to treat patients who suffer from or wish to prevent nutritionally-controllable diseases Or to help support their immune systems in the context of

conventional treatment for chronic or infectious disease

Using the opportunity of patient-practitioner contact to educate patients about their ability to improve their health through better dietary choices

Page 15: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Clinical Career - Examples

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Traditional Clinical Nutrition Professions Primary Care or Internal Medicine Physician

Dietitian working in a hospital, rehab clinic, or as a private consultant

Chiropractor in private practice

Physician specialist in care for chronic diseases that have documented nutritional bases: Endocrinology, e.g., diabetes

Cardiology, high blood pressure, heart disease

Oncology

Gastroenterology, e.g., celiac

Page 16: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Traditional Clinical Training

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Limitations

You will have to learn about plant-based nutrition on your own

Traditional medical training provides very little education in nutrition

Traditional training for dietitians sticks closely to the USDA Dietary Guidelines, which still allow for overconsumption of unhealthy foods

Benefits

Rigorous background in biological sciences – biology, chemistry, biochemistry

Science training provides a strong foundation for understanding nutrition, should you choose to pursue it

Page 17: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Traditional Licensure

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Clinical practice is usually governmentally regulated

Government regulation hurdles usually include: Earning specific degrees,

Passing specific board exams and

Clinical internship experience with specified minimum time investment.

Page 18: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Traditional Licensure

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Benefits

Pursuit of traditional licensure allows physicians and dietitians to give clinical nutrition advice in all 50 states

Current legislation actually prohibits nutrition practice by many other professions in many states (http://www.nutritionadvocacy.org/your-profession)

Drawbacks

The curriculum may be engineered to maximize a fee-for-service model.

It may require creativity to integrate with your own model of best clinical practice; e.g. cardiologists

Page 19: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Business Models for Clinicians – Incorporate Education in Group Settings

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Need some kind of group training/education to be profitable

Group programs I.e. McDougall’s 7-Day Program

Group medical appointments

Add nutrition educator, dietitian or other staff to practice to oversee group trainings

Dr. McDougall with clients

Nutrition Education

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Distinct from clinical practice in that educators are not treating patients for disease

Nutrition educators may provide one-or-one, or more often group training, to educate children and adults about nutrition and health outcomes

Page 24: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Page 25: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Educating Students vs. Treating Patients

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Be wary of crossing the line between educating and treating

This is especially important for anyone pursuing health coaching or other professions whose scope of practice are not yet clearly defined

Page 26: Careers in Plant-Based Nutrition...Example of Public Health Careers 11/14/2013 Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration:

Public Health

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Implementation (practice) or research on broad-scale interventions to target large groups or populations and reduce risk for negative health outcomes

Public Health

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

One of the most versatile career paths

MPH and PhD in this field provide a wide range in scope of influence

Strong opportunities for international work (though many international nutrition intervention tend to revolve around single nutrient supplements)

An MPH can be a transition degree to move towards research in nutrition if you did not major in nutrition or a related field as an undergraduate Consideration: Check degree pre-reqs at any program or

institution you are considering

Example of Public Health Careers

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Working for a national public health organization, such as the CDC or American Heart Assoc. Consideration: the more established the organization the more

challenging it may be to focus on plant-based nutrition

Program director or interventionist in public health programs such as: Intervention to increase the nutrition knowledge and fruit and

vegetable consumption of children

International program to improve farming practice and training in underdeveloped countries

Media/educational campaigns such as “Let’s Move”

Public Health Training

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Strengths:

Graduate schools of public health tend to produce some of the more employable graduates of higher education

Considerations

Graduate schools of public health tend not to provide scholarships or funding, even at the PhD level (there is some, but it tends to be more limited than terminal science degrees)

Scientific Research Training

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Traditional educational routes lead to terminal research degrees such as PhD, ScD

Medical research can also overlap with clinical training - MD

You will need to develop knowledge about plant-based nutrition on your own

Movement

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Foundation is knowing yourself, understanding your interests and what makes you happy

Next step is discernment and visualization – what kind of impact do I wish to make in the world? What kind of lifestyle do I want to lead?

This brings you to take concrete steps towards synthesis of your passion and effective interaction with the world

Recalibration and check-ins are always helpful

Discernment

11/14/2013 www.PlantBasedResearch.org

Your future is still all about the questions you create now.

For example….

What is the most meaningful thing that happened today?

Why did it matter?

What area most interests me?

Who is my role model?

What do I need to learn?

What is my unique contribution?
