Employment direction and prospect of nutrition specialty

From 2004 to 2006, referring to the practices of developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan and Australia, a new specialty of nutrition was established in China to train clinical nutritionists and registered nutritionists for hospitals. At that time, the professional name was "Nutrition", which was gradually changed from 20 100402 to "Food Hygiene and Nutrition", with a four-year academic system and a degree in science. The professional code was 10040 1K, and preventive medicine (. From 20 15, registered dietitians promoted by China Nutrition Society have also been tailored for this specialty, among which Professor Cai Wei from the Department of Medical Nursing of Shanghai Jiaotong University contributed greatly (the birth of domestic nutrition specialty is also closely related to Professor Cai Wei). Well-known institutions offering this major include Shanghai Jiaotong University and West China Medical College of Sichuan University. Because the academic system is only four years, not a medical degree. After graduation, I can't get the qualification certificate of public health professional doctor (if I can take the master's degree in public health), and I have no chance to be a clinical practitioner.

Accordingly, the clinical nutrition specialty of Sun Yat-sen University has also developed its own unique path. This major started in the 1980s (it was originally called medical nutrition major) and was closed for several years. Later, the Department merged with the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene of Gong Wei, and now the undergraduate major is clinical nutrition, which is a five-year medical degree.

In fact, the predecessors of the original nutrition class had a good initial intention to start this major, but the foreign market (for example, in the United States, undergraduates do not have clinical medicine and preventive medicine) is different from that in China. Domestic top-three hospitals generally do not attach importance to nutrition (the recruitment threshold of top-three hospitals is generally a master's degree, but you will be required to major in clinical medicine or preventive medicine, so even if you have a master's degree, there are many restrictions), and the disease control department only recognizes the certificate of preventive doctor of public health (there is no way to test this)
