About

The Nutrition Masterclass Program is a multi-level series of highly-focused courses designed to advance the global understanding of the vital role nutrition plays in management of many diseases as well as maintenance of overall health. Progress through the levels in sequence, starting with Level 1. Additional modules will become available to you as you work through the courses in each Level. If a module has two parts, it is strongly recommended that these be taken together, as they are parts of the same lecture. Level 1 must be completed before advancing to Level 2. Continuing education (CE) credit will be awarded for completed modules where CE is available. A certificate of completion will be added to your profile page within Hill’s Veterinary Academy after each Level is completed. An additional Nutrition Masterclass certificate is awarded for completion of all Levels.
