This unique program is under the direction of the Center for Human Nutrition within the Digestive Disease & Surgery Institute and is one of only a dozen advanced training programs in nutrition in the U.S. The goal of the program is to develop physician nutrition specialists who will incorporate their education and training into their future practice, regardless of the area of specialty. Many graduates of our program progress to other advanced training programs, primarily in gastroenterology and endocrinology.

Fellows train with the Cleveland Clinic's Nutrition Support Team (NST) which includes the Inpatient NST service, Home Nutrition Support Service (HNSS), and Center for Gut Rehabilitation and Transplant (CGRT). The NST is one of the largest and longest-tenured multidisciplinary teams in the world, having been in continuous service since its inception in 1975. The HNSS is one of the largest institution-based programs managing patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) and home intravenous fluids (HIVF) in the US.
