Publisher Comments:

Prepared by Dr. Steven H. Zeisel, a world-renowned authority in nutrition, this series of CD-ROMs is designed to incorporate innovative, effective, flexible, and portable electronic nutrition education into the standard health professions curriculum. Featuring graphics, streaming video, animation, and text, this cutting-edge interactive resource is an excellent teaching tool, whether used in conjunction with or in place of standard text-books. The CD-ROMs can be put on desktops or posted on an intranet for students to work from. Each module offers easy-to-digest lessons, provides interactive learning tools such as pop quizzes and practical patient cases, and includes three self-assessment exams to test the student's knowledge. Vital references such as diagnostic tests, nutritional assessments, dietary allowances, and food labels are accessible from any point in the program. Key words in each lesson are linked to a glossary of nutrition terminology. Coverage includes complete information on the benefits and risks of herbal products and their use in conjunction with drugs. A color-coded menu makes it easy to get from topic to topic, and an index enables students to locate topics quickly. Each module comes with a "Teacher's Pak" that guides the instructor in using the program effectively in a course. Also included are instructions for faculty on customizing the CDs for students and incorporating tests, drills, and homework. All CDs include supporting PDF material for instructors and students.
