Maternal and Child Nutrition |
|

The Leadership, Education and Training (LET) Program in Maternal and Child Nutrition at the University of Minnesota provides continuing education programs for Registered Dietitians, nutritionists and other health professionals who are interested in developing a specialization in maternal and child nutrition. The LET Program believes that all health care professionals who work with women, infants, children and adolescents should have advanced training in the area of maternal and child nutrition. In order to increase access to training in this area, the LET Program has contracted with leaders in the field of public health, maternal and child health and maternal and pediatric nutrition to develop web based curricula on maternal and child nutrition related topics. Available Curricula:
Principles of Public Health Nutrition
Childhood Obesity: Assessment, Prevention and Treatment
