Program description:

The SickKids Public Health Nutrition Course (SPHNC) is a free online course designed primarily for health professionals, but also students and individuals seeking to learn more about nutrition in a globalized world. By leveraging the SickKids Centre for Global Child Health’s expertise and international networks, the open-access course exposes participants to contemporary issues in public health nutrition with an emphasis on maternal and child nutrition. The SPHNC encompasses an interactive, broad-based curriculum that equips participants with the knowledge and skills to address nutrition-related health challenges, adding a more dynamic layer to existing education content and mediums currently available in public health nutrition.
