Abstract

Our team of nutrition experts developed an online nutrition curriculum consisting of 21 modules to serve as a resource for a stand-alone nutrition curriculum or as a supplement to existing nutrition electives during the Pediatric Gastroenterology fellowship. From April 2020 through January 2023, 2090 modules were completed by 436 fellows from 75 different programs across North America. The program was accessed most during tight restrictions on in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, participants posttest scores improved from baseline pretest scores indicating retention of information from the modules. The overall success of this program suggests that there should be continued efforts to develop and offer online learning opportunities in clinical nutrition. There is an opportunity to expand the audience for the curriculum to include pediatric gastroenterologists from across the globe.

Keywords: graduate medical education; learning management system; nutrition education.
