  • Realise your interests and identify the skills to develop
  • Determine possible career paths based on your interests and needed skills

2. Test your current knowledge levels of nutrition science

How much do you really know about nutrition?

Research shows that the internet creates an inflated perception of self-knowledge – it just makes us feel that we have all the answers we need, a click away. But when tested, that knowledge does very little to help us give accurate answers that are not riddled with misinformation and biases.

The optimal path to gain evidence-based education is through objective learning and a critical appraisal of the available scientific research. So, where are you at with this knowledge?
