MatrixKiDD Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Anyone that has taken these could you give any insight to the possible pros and cons of each. I'm just wondering as I may have to do a second degree, to keep my med school dreams alive, depending on how I do in my 4th year this coming year. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

aaronjw Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 York does not have a nutrition program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutritionRunner Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 The only universities in Ontario that offer nutrition programs that are accredited by the Dietitians of Canada are Guelph, Ryerson, and Western (Brescia). Other Ontario universities have nutrition programs, but they are not accredited by the Dietitians of Canada, and so do not allow the graduates to apply for dietetic internships (required to become a registered dietitian). U of T, for example, has a nutrition program, but it is not accredited, so graduates cannot become registered dietitians (unless they complete an accredited program afterwards).

In fact, Ottawa U is the only Ontario program that is fully integrated with an internship spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixKiDD Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ohh lol at me. I think I got confused with another program at York as an option for a 2nd degree, just in case I somehow manage to screw up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would recommend nutrition at Ryerson IF that's honestly an interest for you. Registration for their program is closed for this year but if you're enrolled in Kin at York you can take some courses to get you up to speed for nutrition at Ryerson which *should* be transferable. Chem, organic chem, physiology 1 and 2 which are all first year courses. The next two biggies are biochem 1 and 2 as well as a stats course are the year 2 biggie. Just some info for ya.

Ottawa U's dietetics program is francophone only. My apologies for excluding it - I was thinking of the anglophone schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutrition at Ryerson is easier? For chem and organic chem, I already have those completed so would they most likely be transferable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said it was easier. But there is a definite job opportunity once you are done school should mess not workout or be a delayed process for you. In terms of transfer credits, each school is different and you don't know what they will accept until you actually apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
