This course and required reading reviews many controversial topics that we as RDNs need to know about. It covers a majority of topics that are beneficial to RDNs who either have recently started working in oncology or who have been in the oncology field for awhile, but need to refresh their knowledge and stay up-to-date.

The required reading and the self-study course contain a wealth of knowledge for all oncology RDNs. I learned things that I didn't know, even after 17 years. I think it's a great test of one's knowledge, especially as a pre-test to the CSO exam. The test taker will be very informed and a more knowledgeable practitioner after passing the exam. It covers all area from screening to palliation.
