Course Details Course Brochure
I highly recommend every Doctor do Stanford’s Nutrition Science course. It was incredible, changed my practice & personal lifestyle choices. It is very much geared towards physicians & I’ve recommended it to other GPs. I was able run my practice full time & do it in my spare time. It also helped me better critically analyze studies in a practical way. - Serena Cardoso, MD"
Since it's a new program, I thought you'd like to hear that I’m completely delighted with it – the rigor, the content, the learning design, guest experts, & especially the critical thinking required. I appreciate that we are approaching this from an evidence-based perspective focused on media hype and partial truths, and are provided with the tools to make an informed decision. I especially enjoy the application of learning via the case studies. I can't wait to see who comes into my dietitian's office this week! - Sally Duplantier".
