Guidance for Evaluation and Management of GERD- Short Course
Hannah Lowe, DNP, FNP-C, RDN, CDCES
This is a much needed focus area for clinicians. I work in behavioral health and so many people, RDs included, completely neglect healthy eating basics as part of their interaction with patients. My patients often have extremely unhealthy, erratic eating habits. Many…

Lori Stevens, RD, LDN
Regardless of position held, every nutrition professional may benefit from the overall principles of management that are a large part of this well-balanced, excellent course.
Foodservice Management Concepts: Case Studies for Food and Nutrition Professionals Course

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.

Nutrition Therapy for Cancer Treatment Self-Study course
Leigh Tracy, RD, LDN, CDCES
I appreciated that a current perspective was being shared and that this piece challenged a very outdated, simplistic model of thinking.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…
