Testimonials

I am thankful that this program will be available to practitioners to provide accurate, current and evidence based information on gluten related disorders.

The Long Term Care State Operations Manual is an invaluable resource that aides health care professionals navigate rules and regulations for providing person centered care in LTC. I highly recommend this course because it is excellent for the nutrition professional as it reviews key information vital for this practice area.

This self-study course provides essential information for RDNs that want to be survey confident.

This self study course is well done as it requires a full and thorough reading of the Appendix PP, which gives detailed guidance for surveyors in just about every situation that may arise in a facility. RDNs would benefit from this course because an adequate review of the appendix would enable the RDN to properly handle situations, provide quality care to residents and face each survey with confidence instead of dread.

This CPE program expands the knowledge base of RDNs to acknowledge that weight loss is far more complex than what we tend to recommend.

I appreciated that a current perspective was being shared and that this piece challenged a very outdated, simplistic model of thinking. This course will help to broaden practitioners’ physiological understanding of weight and the interplay with hormones, and hopefully push them to guide patients and clients through a more nuanced approach to weight maintenance, glucose control and overall health.

As the burden of obesity increases, this CPE program allows dietitians the opportunity to understand and support the continued research for evidence based information to individualize plans to successfully treat obesity.

The probiotics and prebiotics world can be incredibly overwhelming for dietitians and clinicians. This resource and course are helpful at delving into the evidence to present a thorough review of current research.

I think this would make a great CPE program. Probiotics are a hot topic, and patients are always asking questions on usage, specific strains, etc. As a GI dietitian, I am often overwhelmed with all of the literature available relating to probiotics. This article in addition to the CPE program is a quick and efficient way to review the latest research, and disseminate key findings into a simple message for patients.

This course will help reinforce the need for DSME and educate the dietitian/diabetes educator on critical factors to consider for implementing such programs. I think it’s an essential piece of reading and would make an excellent CPE program.

Use of cannabis, medically and for recreational use, continues to be a thriving industry. This course presents the topic from the perspective of a dietitian looking to learn more about this substance and health implications with cannabis use. The case study provides a good CPE program for the provider to better understand how this practice might influence their own patient population, particularly with cardiovascular disease, to provide better patient care.

This is a timely course because due to expanded legalization of cannabis, all clinicians including registered dietitians will likely encounter clients who use cannabis and they need to be aware of its safety, efficacy and health implications. The course reviews potential therapeutic and medicinal properties of cannabis as well as its concerning health implications for those with cardiovascular disease. It provides safety considerations and advisement for special populations.

This self study course makes a great CPE program, because until this course was available, current information on this topic of medical marijuana and cannabis use has been difficult to find and consolidate into usable and practical information for RDNs and NDTRs.

This would make a good CPE program because there is still confusion and misinformation regarding diet, dietary cholesterol and cardiovascular risks. This course provides a comprehensive update.

Dietary recommendations have continued to evolve over the last several decades based on research and the impact on cardiovascular health. This short course provides an excellent overview for the RDN, NDTR or CDCES of recent changes regarding dietary cholesterol and uses a case based study approach for a better understanding of how to implement these changes into practice.

It is important for clinicians to be able to identify residents who are malnourished or at risk for malnutrition as it relates to wound care. It is also important to note and understand that residents who are malnourished or at risk for malnutrition will be at risk for longer hospital stays as well as being at risk for other comorbid conditions. Early intervention to address and treat nutrition concerns is key as it relates to vulnerable populations as discussed in this self study course.
