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. Each learning module unit contains the following materials:

1. Backround information including a topic overview and literature review for instructors on the learning module topic
2. Overhead masters or slides prepared using PowerPoint that can be downloaded and reproduced for use in the classroom or clinical setting
3. Masters for handouts to be used in conjunction with the overheads and slides
4. Interactive learning strategies such as case studies and role playing activities
5. Ideas for additional learning activities or for more in-depth training
6. Sample examination or self-assessment questions

1. Principles of Public Health Nutrition
2. Childhood Obesity: Assessment, Prevention and Treatment
3. Health Disparities
4. Connecting with the Pregnant Adolescent
   
   
5. NEW! Self-Assessment Tool for Public Health/Community Nutritionists
