Work one on one with Dr. Elia

Now accepting new CNS candidates needing supervision hours.

Dr. Elia is a pre-approved preceptor for the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists.

Just as Dr. Elia personalizes programs with her clinical clients, she will do the same for those working with her towards their CNS supervision hours. CNS candidates are required to obtain 1,000 hours of supervised practice in clinical nutrition care. BCNS requires that for every 40 hours a CNS candidate works towards meeting their competencies, a minimum of 1 hour must be spent with their CNS supervisor.

Together you and Dr. Elia will construct a program that suits your individual needs and goals using a combination of observational experience and independent/direct experience:

  • Debriefing calls to review your current clients

  • Past client case reviews (studies and/or presentations)

  • Creation of client-driven education materials and group programs

  • Opportunities to meet with Dr. Elia’s clients

  • Group calls (when available)
