Applied Nutrition is the comprehensive 2-day workshop presented by OSU Extension Family & Community Health. This workshop covers basic nutrition and meal planning with applications to disease prevention and weight management. The course is a must-have for anyone who plans meals for others and useful for teachers, nurses and physicians who work with patients battling chronic disease. The course is taught by a Registered Dietitian with 25 years of experience. The course design is hybrid, combining home study with in-person sessions. Students receive course materials in a 2-hour orientation (Sat, Oct 15, 10 am-12 pm) and complete reading assignments before meeting for the 2 full-day sessions (Sat. Oct 22 & 29, 10 am -4 pm). Classes will be held at the Community Health Education Center, 3950 Sherman Ave in Coos Bay. Tuition is $79 and includes 10 continuing education units for those requiring professional development.
