The nutritionist/dietitian, whose primary role is preventive rather than curative, should be able to understand the multi-disciplinary nature of the nutrition problem and be prepared to work as a multi-disciplinary team of professionals in solving nutrition problems. The Food and Nutrition postgraduate curriculum in the PGIA is carefully designed as a blend of multi-disciplinary subject areas covering core nutritional science subjects of biochemistry, human nutrition, community nutrition, nutritional and health aspects of food, dietetics, nutrition epidemiology, nutritional assessment, nutritional genomics and social science subjects of food & nutrition economics, sociology of food & nutrition, nutrition advocacy and counselling, planning and management of food and nutrition programmes together with basic food science subjects (principles of food science, food microbiology, food safety, food analysis, food lipids, functional foods and nutraceuticals) and adequate practical any nutrition related assignment in the community or in food industry.
