ANFP has added a new online course to its educational toolbox for CDMs. “Modified Diets & Concepts in MNT” guides you through the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the new MyPlate icon, and the DASH diet, which all provide a foundation for healthy eating. It discusses MNT trends and typical issues many CDMs deal with, including dehydration, weight loss, diabetes, dysphagia, food allergies, tube feeding, lab values, and food-drug interactions. The course also describes disease states and the modifications, nutrition interventions, and MNT concepts used to treat these diseases – including the CDM’s role in the nutrition care process.
This course is approved for 25 CE hours. The cost is just $199 for ANFP members – that’s only $8 per CE hour.

Food Allergy Awareness Week Planned for May 13-19 |
|
The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) created Food Allergy Awareness Week to educate people about food allergies. The organization provides various free resources -- including brochures, posters, and presentations -- to help raise awareness.
On a related note, on April 26, the governor of Virginia signed a bill into law requiring schools to maintain a supply of non-student specific (stock) epinephrine. Named “Amelia’s Law,” it honors a seven-year old Virginia girl who died in school this past January from an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts. FAAN is continuing to gain support for the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act, a bill that encourages states to ensure that stock epinephrine is available in all schools and that school staff members are trained to administer it. To date, 65 senators and members of the House have signed on as co-sponsors of this legislation. You can get involved by downloading and personalizing a letter of support (sample provided on the FAAN website). Click here to learn more. |
