                                                                The Public
Health Foundation of India (a public private partnership) has a mandate to
strengthen public health capacity. In keeping with this goal and to
contribute towards training future leaders in the field of nutrition, PHFI
will be launching a one-year Post-Graduate Diploma course in Public Health
Nutrition in the Distance Education mode in January 2011.

This postgraduate diploma aims to provide comprehensive training in public
health nutrition in a global setting with the choice of specializing in a
number of topics and in a range of contexts. It provides an integrated
programme covering dietary, epidemiological, public health, social and
biological aspects of nutritional science. Specialist topics include
biostatistics, maternal and child nutrition, food policy, nutrition
programme planning, monitoring and evaluation, and nutritional epidemiology.
This area of study is particularly suitable for people whose employment
overlaps the nutritional area such as health workers, medical practitioners,
dieticians, pharmacists, nurses, health educators and teachers, and those
who wish to avail themselves of contemporary ideas in human nutrition.

One of the greatest advantages of distance learning (e-learning) is that
students can study at their own pace. This means that professionals
(especially those who are working full time, have the opportunity to learn
and enhance their knowledge before or after working hours according to their
convenience.
