This online course, which you can take whenever fits your schedule (asynchronous learning), provides 6-7 hours of practical education from cutting-edge sources using an interacti...ve webinar format. Funding for this initiative has been generously provided through the office of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who is a staunch advocate of healthy eating for promoting longevity and managing chronic disease (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, obesity, and others). You will receive a certificate of completion upon finishing the course and there may also be a recognition webinar featuring Eric Adams. After the course, we will also offer the option of participating in a hosted and moderated webinar to showcase your insights gained from the courses and to inspire your peers and colleagues. Registration is limited by available funding, so be sure to sign up early to guarantee your participation. If you are interested in the course, please email Dr. Helzner ([email protected]) and she will add you to the list. SPH students will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. #publichealth #food #medicine #lifestyle #freecourse #healthyeating
