DESCRIPTIONS
Module 1 | Introduction to Evidence-Based Learning

This module has been designed to partner with the Fundamentals of Nutrition
(Module 2) to provide the underpinning knowledge and thought processes
that are required to move past simple knowledge acquisition and onto

being an evidence-based practitioner means understanding the research and
then being able to contextualise it in your practice by combining it
appropriately with experience.
