The postgraduate program in Nutrology combines clinical practice, an evidence-based approach, and a focus on prevention, longevity, and nutritional management of chronic diseases.

The new Nutrition course at São Leopoldo Mandic is aimed at physicians who wish to deepen their knowledge in the field through a clinically focused approach. In total, the program comprises over 420 hours of coursework, distributed between theoretical content and practical experience with real patients. The postgraduate course lasts 12 months and, initially, is only available at the Mandic Campinas campus. The first class is scheduled to begin in July of this year. 

Nutrology is a medical specialty dedicated to the study of nutrients and the analysis of how diet influences the functioning of the body. The specialty contributes directly to disease prevention and health promotion. In recent years, the field has been consolidating itself as one of the most promising specialties today. This growth is mainly related to the increase in chronic non-communicable diseases, the aging population, and the growing search for preventive medicine strategies and the promotion of healthy longevity.

Recognized nationally and internationally for its excellence in health education, Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic stands out for its educational model focused on professional practice. With a tradition of offering undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the health field, Mandic has its own clinical infrastructure and a faculty composed of masters and doctors active in the market.

According to Mandic's Executive Marketing Director, Alexandre Ferraz, the opening of the new Nutrology course reinforces the institution's commitment to specializing doctors in the most promising areas of Medicine. "That's why we are concerned with topics such as lifestyle, longevity, and nutritional health. In this sense, Nutrology complements the other courses already offered by Mandic, which train our students with quality standards recognized by the market," he explains. 

The course's pedagogical approach was developed to provide immediate practical application, allowing physicians to incorporate the knowledge acquired during their training.
