The engagement of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics with employers and sectoral partners is structured to ensure that educational processes are aligned with professional requirements and current practices in the field. In this context, the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Advisory Board functions as a key external stakeholder mechanism contributing to the evaluation of program educational objectives, learning outcomes, curriculum structure, internship and practical training processes, and graduate competencies. The Advisory Board brings together representatives from academia, healthcare services, sports nutrition, nutrition consultancy, hospital practice, and the food and catering sector, thereby providing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective. Feedback obtained through Advisory Board meetings and stakeholder consultations is systematically considered in curriculum development, improvement of practice and internship opportunities, and enhancement of graduate employability, and is integrated into the program's continuous quality assurance processes.
