This course is essential for anyone with a background in nutrition. When I took this course in 2023, I had no idea how valuable it would be in shaping my entire journey in the field of food and nutrition. It proved to be incredibly helpful during my studies, internship, and in real-life situations when handling patients. The practical knowledge I gained from this course has been invaluable.
আসসালামু আলাইকুম আপু,
Clinical বিষয়ের নাম শুনলে আমার কঠিন মনে হতো অনেক যা নুসরাত আপু তার বাস্তবভিত্তিক অভিজ্ঞতা শেয়ার করার মাধ্যমে এবং বিভিন্ন রোগের ট্রিটমেন্ট মনে রাখার কৌশলের মাধ্যমে খুব সহজ করে দিছে। কোন রোগের ডায়েট চার্ট খুব সহজে কিভাবে তৈরি করা যায় তাও আপু এই clinical পড়ার সময় অনেকটা শিখিয়ে দিছে।এছাড়াও হসপিটালে কিভাবে ফাইল চেক করতে হয়, কিভাবে রোগীর সাথে কথা বলতে হয় সবটাই আপু হাতে ধরে শেখায়। তাই আমার মতে, "Clinical and overall nutritional subject সহজে বুঝার এবং পড়ার জন্য নুসরাত আপু বিকল্প নাই। "
Love you a lot apu... ❤️
May Allah bless you and your familly and also me (🫣)always.. 😊🥰
Inshallah.

Clinical and Therapeutic Nutrition 3rd year এর এমন একটি কোর্স যা আমদের একজন responsible dietitian এর পথে এগিয়ে নিয়ে যায়। নুসরাত আপু তার অভিজ্ঞতা এবং জ্ঞান দিয়ে আমাদের যা শিখিয়েছেন তা আমরা যখন Internship করতে গিয়েছি তখন বুঝতে পেরেছি আপু আমদের জন্য কতটা Helpful করে দিয়েছেন। Disease গুলোর shortform আপু আমাদের শিখিয়ে দেওয়ার কারনে Patient's File গুলো পড়তে সহজ হয়েছে এবং diagnosis report বুঝতে সহজ হয়েছে।
প্রত্যেকটি disease সম্পর্কে আপু বিস্তারিত পড়িয়েছেন এবং সাথে Diet chart তো আছেই । Thank You Apu for this incredible courses.

Studying Clinical and Therapeutic Nutrition under Nusrat Apu was one of the most enriching experiences of my academic journey. Her deep knowledge, combined with her real-world clinical experience, made the course both informative and inspiring. Her ability to connect theory with practical experience made the course impactful. The lessons on patient history, psychological aspects of care, and designing personalized diet plans for various health conditions were incredibly valuable. Her passion for the subject and her patient-centered approach left a lasting impact on me, inspiring me to pursue clinical dietetics. I am truly grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained through her course. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a comprehensive, practical understanding of therapeutic nutrition.

Thank you for your patience, support, and the effort you put into every class. I am truly grateful to have such a wonderful teacher!
This course outline is fabulous. When I was doing internship after my post graduation in 2021 it saved me literally. I cant explain how happy I was to connect those things with my work.

From this course I learn a lot of about clinical nutrition
I feel really lucky to have the opportunity to learn from you. It was beyond our expectations. Highly looking forward to do more course in future.
Excellent experience!!!
This course is like a library on clinical field for us. It worked like that in our professional life as well.
এই কোর্সটা প্রতিটা নিউট্রিশন ব্যাকগ্রাউন্ডের ব্যক্তির করা প্রয়োজন। ২০২৩ সালের দিকে যখন আমি এই কোর্সটি করি, আমার ধারণাও ছিল না যে এটা আমার পুরো খাদ্য ও পুষ্টি বিভাগের শিক্ষাজীবনে, ইন্টারশীপে ও বাস্তব জীবনে পেশেন্ট হ্যান্ডেলিং এর ক্ষেত্রে কত বেশি হেল্পফুল ছিল।
Honestly, I can't thank Nusrat apu enough for her amazing guidance throughout this course. This course was truly foundational for me not just for my 3rd year studies but also prepared me well for my internship. She not only tought theory but also brought it to life with real world examples drawing from her extensive experience in patient counselling. It made the subject matter so much more relatable and understandable. Thanks to Nusrat apu for teaching how to effectively communicate with patients in a hospital setting. It will definitely help in my professional life as a nutritionist.

The best course Nusrat Jahan apu conducted is "Clinical Nurtrition".It is a must recommend for current Nutrition students.Besides being an excellent teacher,she is also a skilled professional nutritionist.She used to share her clinical experiences with us which was very beneficial for me.As now I am practicing as Clinical Nutritionist.those lessons are still useful to me.
আপনি যদি Food & Nutrition এর current student হয়ে থাকেন এবং Future Nutritionist হওয়ার ইচ্ছা আছে তাহলে এই কোর্সটি মাস্ট ফর ইউ!
একাডেমিকের সকল রোগ ও ডায়েটের খুটিনাটি ছাড়াও মজার জিনিস হলো আপু তার নিজ রোগীদের কিভাবে ডায়েট ও ডায়াগনসিস করে থাকেন তার উদাহরণ দিয়ে পড়ান। আমি যখন (২০২৩) এ Clinical Nutrition কোর্সটি করি, প্রতিটি ক্লাস খুবই আগ্রহ নিয়ে করেছি। কেননা প্রতিদিন নতুন কিছু শেখার ছিলো।

Nusrat Jahan Apu’s Advanced Clinical Nutrition course was highly informative, linking theory to real-world applications. Her clear explanations made complex topics easier to understand. A truly valuable learning experience!
২০২২ এ আমি তখন 3rd ইয়ার এ। আপুর কাছে ক্লিনিক্যাল পড়ার জন্য মুখিয়ে ছিলাম যে কখন শুরু করবে পড়ানো। এরপর যখন আপু পড়ানো শুরু করলো it was a blessing for us... কারণ আপু প্রতিটা disease নিয়ে পড়ানোর সময় তার পেশেন্ট দেখার এক্সপেরিয়েন্স শেয়ার করতো।যা আর কোথাও কেউ করে কিনা আমার জানা নেই। অনেক গুরুত্বপূর্ণ জিনিস জানতে পেরেছি যা পরবর্তীতে আমাকে প্রফেশনাল লাইফ এ সহযোগিতা করবে বলে আমি মনে করি। ক্লাসগুলো একটা ইন্টার্নশীপ এর মতোই হয়ে গিয়েছিলো আমাদের জন্য। Thank you so much আপু। অনেক দোয়া ও ভালোবাসা আপনার জন্য।

I did this course in 2016. One of the best course ever by Nusrat Apu . This course helped me a lot during clinical practice and patient counseling at hospital. A professional nutritionist must have this course.
As a third-year Food and Nutrition student, I am currently taking the Clinical Nutrition course taught by Nusrat Jahan apu. Her teaching is incredibly insightful, providing a deep understanding of key concepts in clinical nutrition. She explains complex topics in a clear and structured way, making it easier to grasp the subject. The notes she provides are highly beneficial, helping in both understanding and revision. Through her lectures, I am gaining valuable knowledge that will be essential for my future career. Her approach makes learning both engaging and effective.❤️❤️.
Studying Advanced Clinical Nutrition in 2018 was a transformative experience. I gained valuable insights into the management of communicable and non-communicable diseases through food and nutrition. This knowledge was not only pivotal during my academic journey but also proved essential in my first job at a hospital, where I applied evidence-based dietary interventions to improve patient outcomes. The solid foundation I built during this course continues to support my higher studies in the UK, enabling me to engage deeply with complex topics and contribute confidently to research projects. Overall, my experience with Advanced Clinical Nutrition has significantly shaped my professional and academic growth, reinforcing the critical role of nutrition in healthcare.
