Elevating Nutrition in Pre-Service Training: A Competency-based Tool to Assess Coverage of Nutrition Content
Online
June 6, 2023
8:00 AM—9:30 AM EDT (GMT-4)
Quality pre-service training forms the foundation of all nutrition services, equipping health professionals with the competencies required to deliver quality services from day one on the job. However, nutrition content is often outdated and can be difficult to integrate into pre-service training. In an effort to improve the quality of nutrition services, USAID Advancing Nutrition developed the Tool and Guide for Reviewing the Nutrition Content of Pre-Service Training Curricula and tested it in Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Malawi.
Join us to hear about the challenges of integrating nutrition into pre-service training from experts from three countries and their experiences using this tool to meet some of those challenges. Panelists will also discuss how to advocate for improved nutrition content in pre-service training.
