The University of Texas at Austin invites you to join our continuing education series in nutrition for adult learners and health professionals.
Featuring expert faculty from the Department of Nutritional Science and the Dell Medical School, our pre-recorded webinars will bring you the latest in nutritional science through the convenience of an online experience.
Starting with a molecular view of nutrition, we'll build your knowledge of practical, everyday nutritious behaviors to increase your understanding of how nutrition relates to health. Four modules containing 3 hours of CNE in each module, are available through this Learning Express site. This is the first module in the series. Each module is stand-alone and they may be completed in any order or independently of each other.
Learn the critical role nutrition plays in pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, and early childhood—and how to eat to promote health during these critical life stages.
Topic 1: Nutrition During Pregnancy and Postpartum 1.5 hours
What will I learn?
- Discuss research literature related to nutrition during pregnancy
- Define nutrition recommendations for pregnant women related to weight gain, foods to eat and foods to avoid, and nutrients of concern during pregnancy

Topic 2: Infant Nutrition, Early Child Nutrition and Food Allergies 1.5 hours
What will I learn?
- Explain current evidence related to nutrition in infancy and childhood
- Review the latest literature and recommendations regarding the prevention of food allergies through dietary modulation
