Our Preplanned
Client Practice Pathway 

Our Preplanned Client Practice Pathway provides CNS candidates with structured, pre-planned real client encounters designed to supplement their independent client practice experiences and hours. These thoughtfully developed experiences, created by our organization, include a variety of monthly real client

encounters aimed at strengthening your ability to meet BCNS competencies in assessment and interpretation, intervention development, education and counseling, and ongoing monitoring.

​

In addition to enhancing your clinical skills, this pathway helps keep you motivated, inspired, and connected with your peers throughout your supervised practice experience.

​

Our affordable 6-, 9-, 12-, and 16-month membership options allow CNS candidates to select the plan that best aligns with their timeline and remaining SPE hour requirements.

​

Benefits​​​​​​

• Affordable, low-cost monthly membership fee that provides supervised client-centered experiences that are planned by our organization, allowing interns to gain indirect and direct hours, which costs less than most other SPE programs 

• Enhance your client practice experience and expand your SPE hours beyond what most candidates can obtain through independent client work alone.

• Connect with other CNS peers through participating in a group format that helps increase different learning experiences,  motivation, inspiration, and more!

• Receive monthly supervised virtual activities that are client-centered. SOAP note documentation is required along with a supervisor case review.​​​
• Receive opportunities for client referrals through our Community Nutrition Services

• Receive free marketing & recruiting webinars and other resources to provide you with the edge to begin successfully

• Receive free and discounted client education materials to provide a new nutritionist with the essential materials

• Receive Monthly Mentoring Support as needed to help you with your confidence and overall professional growth

• Have access to our Partnership Program to achieve even more SPE hours, if needed, and to connect with any of our candidates to discuss a client's case.  

• Receive a recommendation letter for the CNS exam application 

• Receive a discount on our already discounted price on our Exam Prep Course for being a part of our SPE community

 

Some supervisor-mentoring sessions will be required since our preplanned client practic experiences require supervision to officially count as SPE hours; however, if a candidate would like to acquire 1:1 supervisor mentoring for their self-recruited clients, in addition to what they receive in the preplanned pathway, enrolling in the 1:1 supervisor mentoring option will be required.
