FSHN 520: Advanced Clinical Nutrition
FSHN 520 or NUTR 561 is a 2 credit hour, graduate level course that examines the interaction of gut microbiota, nutrition and health. I took this eight week course in Spring 2015 as part of my requirement for being a James Scholar. I was the only undergraduate to take the course along with 13 graduate students. As part of the course, I was required to put together a 45 minute seminar with a partner on how the gut microbiota plays a role in depression and anxiety (presentation below). We then had 30 minutes to answer questions and lead discussion on the topic.
