What you'll learn

Appropriate nutrition is of the utmost importance during infancy and childhood as the early days of life can act as the foundation of health in life. It is important to note that half of all morbidities in children under the age of 5 are attributable to under-nutrition. Furthermore, under-nutrition at a very early age can increase the risk of dying from infections. It can also increase the severity of infections while delaying recovery. read more »»

Invariably, it is imperative that children, during their early years of life, get proper nutrition. During childhood, which is responsible for growth and development in life, the nutritional balance – the appropriate amount of substrate plays a major role in developing cognition and the immune response system, which in turn, instills long-term well-being. Additionally, these days, nutritional therapy is proved to play an important role in the treatment of children with many diseases including chronic illnesses, which require long-term nutrition support. Another important aspect covered in the online pediatric nutrition course is malnutrition and how it affects children faster than adults, and therefore, nutritional assessment should be an integral part of the care for every pediatric patient.

The study material in the online pediatric nutrition course is equivalent to that of fellowship in pediatric nutrition and also puts light on the routine screening measures for abnormalities of growth that need to be performed on pediatric patients. This online child nutrition course will enable you to perform an assessment that includes the history of food and nutrition and execute anthropometric measurements, biological data, medical tests, and procedures.

As one parameter cannot be an indicator of the nutritional status in a child, and therefore, nutritionally focused physical findings and the history of the patient needs to be incorporated while executing a cohesive assessment. This online pediatric nutrition course also provides you with insights on the use of age, gender, and disease-specific growth charts that are essential in assessing nutritional status and conduct nutritional interventional programs as required in the treatment of a child.

Through this online child nutrition course, you will understand the measurements using appropriate equipment and the importance of trained personnel in pediatric nutrition. The online pediatric nutrition will improve your knowledge of malnutrition, enable you to execute nutrition assessment, and other important sub-topics, thereby helping you gain comprehensive knowledge of the subject.
