Get Started

The SickKids Public Health Nutrition Course (SPHNC) is designed to be completed in sequential order, although you can move freely between sessions to suit your interests and needs. You can start the course at anytime and there is no deadline for completion; you can work through the course at your own pace. The SPHNC is comprised of 7 modules, each containing 2-7 sessions. Course sessions feature a variety of interactive assessments, expert video talks, an additional resources section, and a nutrition based glossary. Each session takes approximately 2 hours to complete and review the additional resources. A Certificate of Completion will be provided to participants who complete all 31 sessions that comprise the SPHNC. Please ensure you visit all slides, interactions, and elements within each session to earn the Certificate. Kindly note Module Badges are no longer awarded.
