Applied Research Project: “Designing a Comprehensive Therapeutic Nutrition Plan for a Specific Clinical Case”

• Training Hours: (10) hours Supervised and Evaluated
• Project Description:

The project aims to develop a comprehensive clinical nutrition plan for a specific clinical case (real or simulated). The trainee will analyze the patient’s health status, review relevant vital signs and laboratory tests, and then design a therapeutic nutrition program aligned with international clinical nutrition protocols, taking into account the individual patient’s needs and ensuring integration with the overall medical treatment plan

• Project Objectives:

1. Train the trainee to apply Clinical Nutritional Assessment tools.
2. Enhance the ability to analyze clinical cases and link them to nutritional requirements.
3. Design an individualized, evidence-based therapeutic nutrition plan.
4. Develop skills in drafting practical and applicable nutrition programs.
5. Link the therapeutic nutrition plan to clear monitoring and evaluation indicators.

• Trainee Tasks:

1. Select a specific clinical case (real or simulated) to apply the project on.
2. Collect and analyze relevant medical data (medical history – vital signs – laboratory tests).
3. Conduct a comprehensive clinical nutritional assessment to determine the patient’s nutritional status.
4. Develop an individualized therapeutic nutrition plan integrated with the medical treatment plan.
5. Design Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor the patient’s response and progress.
6. Prepare a comprehensive written document along with a presentation summarizing the results and the proposed therapeutic nutrition plan.

• Supervision and Guidance Approach:

1. Academic supervision sessions (10 hours) distributed across project phases (assessment – design – review).
2. Individual or group follow-up to provide scientific feedback and practical guidance.
3. Advisory support in selecting appropriate tools and methodologies for nutritional assessment.
4. Final review to ensure the plan complies with scientific and ethical standards in clinical nutrition.

• Project Deliverables:

1. A written document (10–12 pages) detailing the therapeutic nutrition plan.
2. A nutritional assessment matrix outlining the patient’s nutritional needs and gaps to be addressed.
3. An individualized therapeutic nutrition plan integrated with the medical treatment plan.
4. Monitoring and evaluation indicators to measure the patient’s response to the nutrition plan.
5. A presentation (PowerPoint) summarizing the plan and key recommendations before the evaluation committee.
