Course Description:

These online courses are valuable professional development activities for practitioners interested in the renal or pediatric areas of practice or as a study resource for practitioners who would like to take the Board Certification as a Specialist in Pediatric or Renal Nutrition Examination.  The simulations have been developed and reviewed by committees of content experts who are practitioners in pediatric and renal dietetics.  Committee members are chosen to represent various work settings, and they include members from diverse demographics. 

Please note: The content of the online versions of the self-assessment simulations is the same as the printed version that was published in 1997. While some of the content/references may be dated, the problems are still useful to become familiar with the patient management problem format of the examination, the information gathering and decision making sections and scoring rationales. The current reference list, content outline, and problem types are available on CDR's website. It should be noted that the simulation problems are educational in nature and are not necessarily designed to predict your performance on the actual examination.
