Objective:
With the guidance of the faculty-in-charge (FIC), the students are guided to assess the training and education needs of a specific target group (e.g., pregnant/lactating women, children, adolescents, adults, and elderly, and community health workers) in a low-income community. They are also guided in formulating an instructional design for a nutrition education session. They implement the instructional design to the chosen target group, and document and evaluate the seminar or training session.
The FIC partners with the Quezon City Health Department in implementing the course in one of the city’s barangays.
