SRJC-Independent Living Progrom
Dietetic Technology

The Dietetic Technology Program helps prepare students to manage an efficient, safe, and healthful food service. Students acquire skills for supervising both food production and employees in extended care settings, hospitals, retirement communities, school food, and other large food service organizations. Both classroom instruction and hands-on experience with local food services are included in the curriculum. The Diet Tech certificate is the minimum requirement set by the California Department of Public Health for managing food service departments in a health-care facility.

COURSES

Classes required to obtain the Diet Technology certificate include basic nutrition, class work and field experience working with clients on nutritionally modified diets, safety and sanitation applied to food service, food production class work and field experience and basic management techniques. Diet 253, Annual Update in Dietetic Technology, provides an opportunity to network with others in the field and listen to a variety of speakers addressing current topics related to food, nutrition, and food service management.
