The biggest strength of the course is the diverse group of faculty delivering the lectures and also that it had the systematic lectures all put together in easily understandable presentations. Through this course I’ve come to know lot many novel things and would like to recommend this course to my colleagues as well.

The main strength of the course is itself- Tobacco awareness. You can login to the Learning Management System (LMS) at any time, whenever you are free. Downloading and saving of course material is easy and one can go through the material anytime as per his convenience, it is time saving. Tobacco related topics were nicely divided into various lectures and each topic was presented with enough details. LMS concept is good, and so is the course content. It would have been good if it contained latest updates.

The way this course was designed is really superb as it gives a systematic flow to the course as if the person is sitting in the classroom and can easily participate in discussion and can ask any query.

The recorded lecture pattern reduced the abstract nature common with most online/distance learning programs as obtained in the UK and some other countries. This brought in some degree of reality to the program, simulating the traditional school program. This is quite commendable!

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.
