Course Overview

An in-depth understanding of how clinical studies of laboratory tests in people (such those using body fluids) are used to the diagnosis of disease and their therapeutic goals will be provided by Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Certification.

Chemical processes involving elements, acids, bases, and the biochemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are all topics covered in Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Classes.

The food and nutrition section of the Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Certification Syllabus is covered, including the metabolic properties of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are fundamental to the comprehension of a healthful diet.

All students get a Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Certification by Manipur University, Canchipur under the Swayam Initiative by the Government of India.

What you will learn

Learners in the Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Certification Course gain knowledge of the illnesses caused by a body's lack of macronutrients, vitamins, and micronutrients - which is taught in depth in Food Nutrition Certification Courses.

You can explain the significant role of protein energy malnutrition (PEM), vitamin A insufficiency, iron deficiency anaemia, iodine deficiency diseases, and zinc deficiency concerning the public health with the aid of Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Training.

The following learning outcomes are achieved upon successful conclusion of this Nutritional and Clinical Biochemistry Certification:

Describe the interrelationship between food, nutrition and health.
Define nutrition, dietetics, and food.
Provide examples of vitamin A deficiency, iron deficiency anaemia, iodine shortage, zinc deficiency, and their causes and effects.
Provide the treatment of PEM, vitamin A deficiency, iron deficiency anaemia and iodine deficiency disorders.
