E-learning | Nutrition & Cardiovascular health

Deze e-learning wordt aangeboden in samenwerking met de University of Arizona. De e-learning is al jaren in de VS geaccrediteerd voor 15,5 AMA (Amerikaanse accreditatie) voor alle artsen. De kwaliteit is hoogstaand en er wordt gewerkt met verschillende werkvormen (interactieve casuistiek, quizen en video). De geschatte tijdsinvestering is 15,5 uur. Alle onderdelen zijn Engels, zo ook de toelichting hieronder. Je kunt dit eenvoudig naar het Nederlands vertalen met Google Translate of de vertaalopties in bijvoorbeeld Chrome.

Nutrition & Cardiovascular health
More than 2100 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each day – one death every 40 seconds. This is a tragic but not surprising statistic given the national prevalence of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and diabetes. Eighty percent of premature heart disease could be prevented through diet and lifestyle. Clinicians must be able to effectively counsel patients about the many nutritional factors that can prevent heart disease, yet few physicians feel they have adequate training in nutrition. This course provides straightforward, clinically relevant information for understanding how carbohydrates and fats affect lipids, the evidence behind low glycemic load diets, the cardio-protective effects of key micronutrients and phytochemicals, and much more. The best strategy for health and resiliency is to design a nutritional plan for patients that addresses their specific health needs while encouraging a whole food diet that does not deny them the pleasures of eating. This course will give you the knowledge and understanding necessary to do just that.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Assess the evidence for nutritional options for optimization of cardiometabolic health.
2. Describe key risk factors for heart disease in order to identify patients who could possibly benefit from dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
3. Learn the nutritional approaches for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Describe the fundamental components of heart-healthy diets, including the Mediterranean and DASH diets, along with updates on ketogenic, gluten-free, and time-restricted eating patterns, among others.
5. Review macronutrients and functional foods and learn about the glycemic index and glycemic load.
6. Discuss the potential risks and benefits of dietary supplements and botanicals commonly used in the prevention and/or treatment of heart disease to help patients make better healthcare choices.
7. Identify authoritative resources for information regarding integrative approaches for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular disease.
8. Gain the ability to help patients make better dietary and lifestyle choices.

Accreditatie
De volledige term van de AMA punten is AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, dit is de meest algemeen geaccepteerde vorm van CME punten (Continual Medical Education) , oftewel nascholingspunten voor medisch professionals. Deze punten worden in de VS toegekend aan artsen, verpleegkundigen, apothekers en andere zorgverleners wanneer zij bij- en nascholingen volgen om hun kennis en vaardigheden up-to-date te houden. Afhankelijk van je eigen beroepsvereniging zijn deze punten om te zetten naar Nederlandse accreditatiepunten. Deze aanvraag kun jezelf bij je beroepsvereniging doen. Elke beroepsvereniging behandelt deze aanvraag op eigen wijze.

AVIG: Deze e-learning is voor 15.5 punten  algemeen medische nascholing (AMN), integrale nascholing (IG) of natuurgeneeskunde nascholing (NG) naar keuze bij de AVIG geaccrediteerd.

KNMG: Voor huisartsen, medische specialisten en andere artsen: Ondanks dat deze elearning voor Amerikaanse artsen geaccrediteerd is, heeft de KNMG geen accreditatiepunten toegekend. Wel is het mogelijk -zoals vaker bij internationale scholingen/congressen- om met het Amerikaanse certificaat dat je per mail ontvangt, bij je eigen wetenschappelijke vereniging een individueel verzoek tot accreditatie in te dienen.
