The Geriatric Nutrition and Dietetics course at Stanmore School of Business provided a comprehensive overview of the nutritional needs of older adults. I appreciated the detailed lectures on nutrition physiology and the pathophysiology of age-related diseases. The course materials were well-organized and included a range of resources, such as research articles and clinical guidelines. I found the assignments and quizzes to be challenging but helpful in assessing my knowledge and understanding. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more Australian-specific examples and case studies.
