This Policy and Procedure Manual is the kitchen bible of manuals. It is the most thorough, practical and user friendly manual available on the market. The course emphasizes the practical application of material within the manual.

As the population is aging, it is important to gain more insight on nutrition and cognitive decline. This course and required reading are timely and align with the Academy’s vision with the Council of Future Practice.

This self study course and required reading benefit RDNs who educate both young and older adults and the consumption of processed foods and the potential effects on their cognition as they age. I have the opportunity to work with a wide age-range of clients. I often provide younger clients with this type of evidence-based information to promote better food choices to prevent or decrease chances of dementia. Over my years, clients get more motivated to make changes to their diet when they learn about this type of study. I love turning their motivation into habits that can last a long lifetime.

This course provides the most current and pertinent information on the consumption of ultra-processed foods and cognitive health in aging individuals. I haven’t seen much information on this subject matter and every RDN should add this to their education arsenal.

I thoroughly enjoyed this self study course and required reading. It significantly expanded my knowledge of impacts on the global food system, how these factors including geopolitical history contribute to malnutrition at all parts of the spectrum and how our choices in food and nutrition lead to health both internally/biologically and the biodiversity in the environment.

This course and required reading are timely and highlight the future and challenges of the world’s food system. With the double burden of global obesity and hunger mixed in with an industrialized food system and climate change, we as dietitians/nutrition experts need to step up to the plate and help educate the population to save the planet one plate at a time.

In line with the need to make behavior changes to support the planet, this course offers an excellent tool for the RDN to see the role in which food plays with this goal. As demonstrated in the course, small changes with diet education and an emphasis on more of a plant-based diet approach with clients can have a significant impact.

This course is excellent and well written. It would be advantageous to read prior to taking the Nutrition Wound Care Certification. It is also a must for any RDN who is part of a wound care team or provides nutritional interventions for people with pressure injuries.

I love how comprehensive the guidelines are and how the course is set up with practical scenarios. It gives the practitioner ways to communicate nutrition’s importance in healing pressure injuries. Those who take this course will get valuable, evidenced-based knowledge on how to treat pressure injuries.

This makes an excellent CPE program! If a clinician learns everything in this program, I could consider them educated in the top 99% of all RDNs for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.

Every nutrition professional will likely encounter situations in which end of life care and palliative care decisions will be presented for consideration by the health care team. This crosses all settings including long term care, dialysis, acute care, etc. We each will also be presented with such decision making in our personal lives and can benefit from a better understanding of what makes palliative care unique and worthy of consideration. Every nutrition professional should consider this course at some point in their career.

I love this course! I learned a lot, and I feel like that is hard to do for me given my experience.

This self study course and required reading clearly identify the concern of low muscle mass and malnutrition in a wide variety of individuals. The exceptional presentation of this research information is vital for dietitians working in all areas of practice.

Every nutrition professional should take this course, as it is a comprehensive review of multiple aspects of adult nutrition! It is well referenced, covers a multitude of scenarios that are possible, and up to date with regards to practice.

The strength of this CPE program is how easily translatable the data is to clinical practice. The course provides specific data about which food groups included in a low-fat vegan diet provide the most benefits to body weight and fat mass reduction, so if patients are interested in experimenting with a plant-based lifestyle, this course gives good data about where to start for the greatest impact. The course also provides expected parameters for patients who experiment with a low-fat vegan diet.

We often hear mixed messages about plant-based diets. “They are super healthy.” “They aren’t healthy at all.” This self study course provides the opportunity to examine the available research on low-fat plant-based vegan diets and see the evidence firsthand. Clinicians will be better able to educate their clients and providers, providing concrete facts regarding the benefits of low-fat vegan diets. They will also be able to support clients making dietary changes and ensure that their clients meet nutritional needs while seeking an improvement in weight and overall health.

With the growth of continuing care retirement communities, nursing homes and other long term care communities, employment opportunities will expand for nutrition professionals. Weight loss is a frequent problem within this market and this course provides information that will benefit RDNs and NDTRs.

This makes an excellent CPE program. It employs a well-designed, robust study to address the association between weight status and mortality in older adults. The questions posed in this CPE program are relevant to understanding the most pertinent information from the study.
