Who We Supervise
We work with CNS candidates from a wide range of backgrounds.
Supervisees do not need to be Maryland residents, but must follow all applicable state laws for nutrition practice in their location. We help you stay within legal scope while still building the clinical skill set you’ll need for independent practice.
Note: Enrollment is limited to CNS® candidates who meet the ANA requirements for supervised practice.
