Dietary Guidelines for Americans
http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/dietaryguidelines.htm

The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion creates the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which are the “cornerstone” of the Federal nutrition policy and nutrition education activities. The CNPP was created within the U.S. Department of Agriculture on December 1, 1994, and reports to the Office of the Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services. CNPP’s mission is to improve the health of Americans by developing and promoting dietary guidance that links scientific research to the nutrition needs of consumers.

AudioDigest CME Credit Info

The AudioDigest programs are more popular than ever, especially now that people can download the MP3s wherever they have internet access.


There are some slight changes in how to apply for CME Credit through AudioDigest.

The big difference is that AudioDigest is asking physicians/providers to sign up for their own AudioDigest account to facilitate tracking CME credits.

      • Use the LIBRARY username and password to access the MP3s and testing info on the Affinity subscription (free to you).
      • Use your PERSONAL AudioDigest Account Number to apply for and track CME Credits. Kathy at AudioDigest can help you create an AudioDigest account at 818-844-3261 (phone).

For more info on AudioDigest, please see the following tutorials with screenshots :

*  Download and listen to MP3s on your own computer or player [Affinity Access only]

• For AudioDigest Family Practice, use this Road Map. [Affinity Access only]
(The subscription goes through STE Library, so there's a different username and password to access this series.)
