Here you find an overview of the module on "Micronutrients in Pregnancy and Lactation", its structure and units, learning aims and information on how to get your CME credits.
Introduction
Good nutrition is fundamental for good health, and is especially important for women during pregnancy and the lactation period. Additional maternal energy requirements during pregnancy and lactation are only 10% higher than in the non-pregnant or non-lactating state. However, the requirement for some micronutrients increases considerably and may have profound consequences for fetal development.
In this module, critical micronutrients for pregnancy and lactation are discussed in detail. An overview of relevant nutrients is presented, including biological function, physiological requirements and consequences for optimal fetal and infant development.
Structure, Content and Learning Aims of this Module

How to best follow this module
For your own coordination and scheduling: To go through this entire module which contains five units, you will need about 540 minutes (about 180 minutes for each unit). Downloading further literature or using our integrated links will take additional time.
Every unit consists of a self-assessment test at the beginning, different lessons, and a CME test at the end. During the course of the module, the learner will benefit from a number of learning tools, including self-assessment tests, graphics, and a discussion forum.
