Ethics & Sustainability in Clinical Nutrition

Training Overview

Ethics & Sustainability in Clinical Nutrition is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to strengthen ethical awareness, professional responsibility, and sustainable decision-making skills among nutrition and dietetics professionals. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with interactive simulations and case-based discussions, focusing on ethical dilemmas, sustainability principles, and responsible clinical nutrition practice.

The course covers core topics including ethical principles in clinical nutrition, patient autonomy, informed consent, equity in healthcare, and professional accountability. Sustainability-focused sessions address environmentally responsible dietary practices, sustainable food systems, and the role of nutrition professionals in reducing environmental impact while maintaining patient-centered care.

Through interactive simulation workshops, participants analyze real-world ethical dilemmas, sustainability challenges, and complex clinical scenarios. Training is conducted under the supervision of expert dietitians, ethicists, and international faculty, reinforcing critical thinking and ethical decision-making.

In addition to simulation-based learning, the program features expert-led discussions on policy development, global nutrition ethics, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Case-based sessions explore conflicts of interest, cultural sensitivity, resource allocation, and long-term sustainability strategies in clinical nutrition.

By the end of the program, participants will have enhanced their ability to apply ethical principles and sustainability frameworks in daily nutrition practice.
