Mastering Advanced Clinical Nutrition:

A 12-Month Mentorship for Success 

A minimum of 5 CNS candidates will be required to launch and for each cohort! 

​

Sprouting Nutritionists and Coaches (SNC) support and assist integrative and functional nutritionists wishing to become credentialed. 

​

CNS candidates must obtain 1,000 hours of supervised practice in clinical nutrition care. At the beginning of these hours, we here at SNC will require that every 40 hours, a CNS candidate works towards meeting their competencies, and a minimum of 1 hour must be spent with their CNS supervisor. As you progress, this will lessen as you grow in experience and confidence. Please note that most may complete their CNS Supervised Practice Experience in 10 months, but there is no rule of thumb on how long it will take, as everyone is on different paths, so we can't advise on how long it will take each person. â€‹â€‹â€‹
