Continuing education for youth obesity prevention: lessons learned

School Nurse News. 2009 Nov;26(5):20-3.

Abstract

To enhance school nurses' knowledge, skills and abilities to impact youth overweight and obesity, we designed, implemented and evaluated three on-site continuing education workshops. These workshops were converted to an on-line learning management system. Suggestions for how school nurses can replicate our processes for delivery of continuing education are discussed.
