CJ Freshway, Training Clinical Nutrition Experts to "Enhance Hospital Meal Quality"

CJ Freshway announced on the 13th that it is focusing on nurturing clinical nutrition experts to improve the quality of meal services at large hospitals, which are group meal clients.

On the 12th, CJ Freshway held a completion ceremony for the 'Clinical Nutrition Master Course' of the hospital group meal operation team at its headquarters in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The Clinical Nutrition Master Course is a program that educates CJ Freshway nutritionists working at large hospitals on basic clinical knowledge of major diseases and methods of operating therapeutic diets. It has been ongoing for seven years since 2017.

On the 12th, the completion ceremony for the 'Clinical Nutrition Master Course' to train in-house clinical nutrition experts was held at the CJ Freshway headquarters located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Thirty nutritionists working at hospitals nationwide participated in this master course. From December last year, they took an in-depth educational program for four weeks covering understanding of diseases, the importance of clinical nutrition in hospitals, types of therapeutic diets, and operational precautions. The program was conducted as customized training according to each hospital’s therapeutic diet guidelines, and professional knowledge materials such as disease-specific menu preparation guidelines and patient food selection information booklets were also provided to enhance understanding. In particular, this course received great responses as store managers responsible for therapeutic diets at actual hospitals served as instructors, sharing their accumulated experience and know-how from the field.

A CJ Freshway official said, "Hospital therapeutic diets must provide customized food according to the patient’s disease or intake method, so specialized knowledge is essential," adding, "We will continue to operate various internal capacity-building programs to do our best in providing meal services that satisfy not only our client hospitals but also the end consumers, the patients."
