CHEF Coaching Beyond The Basics

Overview

What you will study

The CHEF Coaching Beyond The Basics course offered by Harvard University provides education and experience that will keep clinicians at the forefront of this critical global trend, leading by example to improve and increase healthy eating for patients and themselves.

Through participation in small group practice sessions, participants will learn how to empower patients to overcome barriers to home cooking including limited time, lack of skills and low confidence. Also, through participation in home cooking demonstrations, attendees will have the opportunity to learn new healthy culinary practices that can be introduced into their patients’ kitchens as well as their own. This course, delivered through a novel telemedicine approach, will also prepare participants to include remote modules while educating their patients to adopt home cooking habits. The economics of healthcare reform increasingly pressure clinicians to promote healthy nutrition.
