Assessment

Throughout the Nutrition Pharmacy Training Program, various assessment techniques are employed to evaluate participants' understanding and proficiency in nutritional support and management. These techniques include:

Pre-Test: o Before the training begins, participants undergo a pre-test to assess their baseline knowledge of nutritional pharmacy concepts. This initial assessment helps tailor the course content to address specific learning needs.

Progress Assessment Online Tests: o Participants engage in daily online tests to reinforce learning and assess comprehension of the material covered each day. These tests consist of multiple-choice questions, quizzes, or short-answer exercises designed to evaluate understanding of daily topics and concepts.

Post-Test: o At the conclusion of the training, participants complete a comprehensive post-test covering all modules and topics discussed during the training period. This final assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of participants' knowledge and skills in nutritional pharmacy.

Case Study Questions: o Participants are presented with case study questions simulating real-world scenarios related to nutritional support. These case studies challenge participants to apply their knowledge to practical situations, analyze clinical data, and develop appropriate nutritional management plans.

Self-Paced Learning Tests on the LMS: o The Learning Management System (LMS) hosts self-paced learning tests that participants can access at their convenience. These tests allow participants to review course material, reinforce key concepts, and assess their understanding through interactive quizzes and exercises.
