Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Biomedicine and Nutrition (PGBMN/EBMN)

Post Graduate Diploma / Executive Diploma in Biomedicine and Nutrition is designed to provide advanced, evidence-based knowledge and skill development for nutritionists, dietitians, healthcare professionals, life-science graduates, and wellness practitioners. The programme offers in-depth understanding of human biomedicine, disease pathophysiology, nutritional biochemistry, and preventive nutrition strategies aimed at reducing disease risk and promoting long-term health.

Developed by the Centre for Nutrition and Dietetics Studies (CNDS), IGMPI, the programme has a strong clinical and practical orientation, emphasizing case-based learning, metabolic assessment, and application of preventive nutrition protocols across lifestyle disorders and chronic diseases. Learners are trained to integrate biomedical concepts with nutrition interventions for early risk identification, disease prevention, and health optimization.

The programme aims to build competence in designing personalized, preventive nutrition plans, interpreting clinical and laboratory parameters, and supporting population as well as individual health outcomes
