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.
To qualify for a certificate of participation, candidates must achieve a minimum passing score of 80% or above on the post-test administered at the end of the training.
This course is designed for healthcare professionals and other individuals interested in nutritional support.
