The Department of Community Medicine and Family Medicine at AIIMS Bhubaneswar have started a fellowship course in Public Health Nutrition in 2019. The need for such a course in the present time is timely, apt and in keeping with the need of the hour. The course proposes to give the students a broad-based view of public health nutrition and envisages to give them the requisite skills to have a career in this specialty and will serve as a value addition to those who already have a career in public health.
I congratulate the Department of Community Medicine and Family Medicine of AIIMS Bhubaneswar for meticulously preparing the course content which will facilitate training and be a source of quick reference for the students not just during the training period but also later on in their career.
