Nick Ducharme

Originally from Timmins, Nicholas completed his bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics at Western University in 2020. Wanting to return to Northern Ontario, Nicholas completed the Northern Ontario Dietetic Internship Program in 2021, allowing him to gain valuable experience in a myriad of clinical settings.

Nicholas began his dietetic career working at the Timmins Diabetes Education Centre where he focused on pediatrics, gestational diabetes, and complex adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Nicholas obtained his Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) designation in 2023 and is a Certified Insulin Pump Trainer for Northeastern Ontario.

Through diabetes, Nicholas was able to find his current dietetic passion of nephrology.

Nicholas also provides renal nutrition education and support to HSN’s satellite locations Kapuskasing and Elliot Lake.
