Client Practice Pathway

In this pathway, candidates take the lead in building and managing their own client caseload while applying evidence-based nutrition care under supervision.

Independent Client Practice Pathway Cost
Pay-As-You-Go Format
$75/60 minutes or $40/30 minutes
CNS Candidates are responsible for scheduling supervisor-mentoring sessions as needed, based upon the number of client encounters they participate in each month.
The Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists requires candidates to
review every client case with a qualified supervisor.
Total cost will vary depending on how frequently the candidate meets with their supervisor and the number of client cases requiring review throughout the internship experience. On average, candidates require approximately one supervisory session per month; however, the frequency may vary based on individual client volume, pathway participation, and clinical support needs.
