medical online module

shared by Jessica O'Brien on 19 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • For the last 15 years, to help schools with their nutrition curriculum, the University of North Carolina has offered a series of instruction modules free of charge. Initially delivered by CD-ROM and now online, the program, Nutrition in Medicine, is an interactive multimedia series of courses covering topics like the molecular mechanism of cancer nutrition, pediatric obesity, dietary supplements and nutrition in the elderly.
  • More recently, Ms. Adams and her colleagues have begun working on online nutrition education programs geared toward practicing physicians.

These nutrition modules are interactive and let students take electronic notes while reviewing the material.
