This innovative approach combines digital tools, virtual patients, and a service-learning model to enhance the training of dietetics students. The project aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world practice by creating simulated professional experiences based on the Nutrition Care Process (NCP). By incorporating realistic patient scenarios and virtual interactions, students develop crucial interpersonal skills and patient follow-up abilities. The initiative also promotes community engagement, allowing students to apply their knowledge in meaningful, socially beneficial ways. Preliminary results and impressions from participants will be analysed to assess the effectiveness of this novel educational approach in improving dietetics training and preparing future professionals for the challenges of modern healthcare. metadata Elío Pascual, Iñaki; Prola, Thomas; Sumalla Cano, Sandra y Tutusaus, Kilian mail inaki.elio@uneatlantico.es, thomas.prola@uneatlantico.es, sandra.sumalla@uneatlantico.es, kilian.tutusaus@uneatlantico.es (2024) E+DIETing_LAB Digital Lab for Education in Dietetics Combining Experiential Learning and Community Service.
