Overview
The Nutrition Support Certificate was produced in collaboration with the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN). This self-guided program consists of twelve modules comprised of online home study activities.
The program incorporates recorded presentations, readings, and exercises in curricular modules. Each activity is designed to assess the learners’ ability to understand, analyze, and apply materials relevant to nutrition support practice. The program covers malnutrition, nutritional requirements for adult patients receiving nutrition support, a review of best practices for ordering, access, preparation and administration of nutrition support, an overview of potential complications that could result from enteral or parenteral nutrition, as well as ongoing monitoring and error reporting. After completing all of the modules, participants should be proficient in fundamental concepts related to nutrition support care for adult patients.
Professional Certificate Requirement
Once a learner has completed the educational curriculum, they will have the opportunity to complete an online comprehensive exam. Once the learner completes the exam (minimum 80% passing rate; unlimited attempts permitted), they will earn the professional certificate.
