PHN course is helping me a lot. Being a physiologist, I am able to teach nutrition to the medical student. Recently according to the medical norms, nutrition subject is being thought to be added to the medical student during their study period. That way it is helpful in my career and family care. I am originally from rural area, I can guide the village community. India is the fastest growing country in the world and so is its population. I understood the current nutrition problem in the India and also how to make the policy according to recruitment.

PHN helped me in exploring my knowledge, and it gave me better understanding of public health aspects and various nutrition policies working at the movement. I was fully satisfied with the program, the authors, the guidance mentors gave to us and the administrative officers. Thanks to all. I just want to wish all the very best for the course in future. Sincerely, I hope more and more working people like me can find out some time with the help of courses like this to update their knowledge and to work more efficiently.

This course is very much helpful for any medical graduate to have proper knowledge about public health nutrition and its implementation. The course may be extended to 1 year and ½ year for giving proper time period for completion of project work.

This course is useful for improving present scenario of public health nutrition, knowledge and application of this to my practice.

It has helped me increase my academic qualification and knowledge in a great way. I have gained more knowledge about the subject and am more confident in my studies and work experiences. I learned about how human body reacts to different foods and its components, at different stages in life. The excellent theory provided by you and my online class experience and discussions with the fellow students and faculty, helped me implement all in to my practice and gain excellent results with my patients. It was never like a distance learning course, it was very interactive. It was overall a very good experience with PHFI and technical team; all faculty was excellent and disciplined

Through this course I became aware about the basic facts about relationship between various nutrients deficiencies and their impact on our health. As my research center is primarily involved in research on micronutrients, I will definitely use this knowledge in my area of research.

It is a good e-learning program for the employed person as well as the professionals in the field of the Nutrition. The class room exercise and interaction with other friends in e-portal helped a lot in clarifying many doubts and provided a space to justify my own thoughts and recommendations for better and shared learning.

PHN Program helped me to increase the knowledge level in nutrition section. One suggestion that instead of focusing more on knowledge & information, focus should be drawn to skill part also.

It has added a lot in my confidence, technical abilities in the field of Nutrition and allied topics. This has helped in my lectures to the Health and ICDS functionaries especially in lectures in the Professional Development Course conducted by the Public Health Institute, Nagpur, for Senior Doctors, NRC/CTC trainings conducted by the HFWTC Nagpur for pediatricians, doctors and nursing staff.This is a very useful program. It would have been more beneficial for me if I would have done it earlier. Now I am on the verge of retirement from service. However, I’m sure that after retirement also I will be engaged in the field of nutrition

It is a great learning to me and am using all these learning in my career.
