About ASNHR
Disclaimer: Our nutrition courses are designed for nutritionists or dietitians seeking professional advancement. Please note that completion of our courses does not confer eligibility to practice as a dietitian.
Our courses not only cover the latest advances and practices in health & nutrition but also underscore research's pivotal role in delivering precise and evidence-based patient care. Research is a systematic approach to increasing knowledge and finding truth. Through ASNHR courses, researchers would gain various skills to conduct meaningful research (both qualitative & quantitative), gain insights in data analysis, master skills for technical writing and understand the use of technology in research. Our research-based courses are accessible to individuals across fields, extending beyond healthcare to nurture research interests.
Apart from technical expertise, healthcare professionals/ nutritionists require a diverse set of soft skills, including effective communication, time management, cultural competence, stress management, leadership, decision-making, conflict resolution, etc. These interpersonal abilities play a crucial role in successfully managing patients and fostering positive interactions with colleagues. At ASNHR, our goal is to assist health professionals/ nutritionists in honing these essential skills to excel in their careers and provide the best possible care to their patients.
Under the guidance of esteemed faculty experienced in nutrition, health, research and soft skills, our courses offer practical evidence-based learning beyond the formal academia. Through ASNHR, healthcare providers can elevate their expertise, staying at the forefront of this ever-evolving field.
