QUINTANA, Ibrahin et al. Training of human resources in feeding and nutrition. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 2008, vol.46, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3003.
AIM: to make a brief account of the training of human resources in feeding and nutrition, and to describe the behaviour of the training of human resources in the Institute, as well as of some characteristic elements, making emphasis on the training process of the Master of Public Health in Nutrition. METHODS: a review of the curricular design of the Master Degree and of other ways of training human resources was made, describing the results attained up to now. RESULTS: the elements of the curricular design included in the Master Degree of Public Health in Nutrition are made known, as well as the number of versions (12) since its creation in 1993, the enrolment (less than 20 professionals by academic year as an average, with an increase in the two last versions conducted at present), and the number of graduates (138). CONCLUSIONS: the Master Degree of Public Health in Nutrition fulfils the pedagogic and public health criteria necessary to give attention to the disorders related to feeding and to inadequate diets. The evaluations and redesigns of the new proposals are basically the result of the achievement of health prevention by using different strategies, including food and nutritional education.
