Free Nutrition Courses Online

Nutrition is a cornerstone of preventive medicine, chronic disease management, and overall patient well-being. Yet many clinicians feel underprepared to offer in-depth dietary guidance amid the growing complexity of nutrition science and evolving patient expectations. At FreeCME, we provide a curated selection of free online nutrition CME courses to help bridge this gap—empowering healthcare providers with practical, up-to-date knowledge that can improve health outcomes across diverse patient populations.

Our nutrition CME courses are created in collaboration with accredited continuing education providers, ensuring content that is clinically accurate, evidence-based, and aligned with current guidelines. These activities are designed to meet the educational needs of a wide range of healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and others involved in the care of patients with dietary concerns, metabolic disorders, or lifestyle-related conditions.

All courses are completely free and accessible online, allowing for flexible, self-paced learning on your schedule. Whether you’re counseling a patient on managing Type 2 diabetes through diet, addressing micronutrient deficiencies in older adults, or exploring nutrition’s role in cardiovascular health, our CME offerings are designed to provide the clinical insights you need. After completing each module and its post-test, you can instantly download your CME or CE certificate, helping you stay compliant with licensure and certification requirements.

The nutrition CME catalog covers a broad spectrum of topics that are directly relevant to modern clinical practice, including:

• Nutritional strategies for chronic disease prevention and management, including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity

• Nutrition in special populations, such as pediatrics, geriatrics, and patients with gastrointestinal disorders

• Micronutrient assessment and supplementation, addressing common deficiencies and appropriate interventions

• Plant-based diets, Mediterranean nutrition, and other evidence-supported eating patterns

• The role of nutrition in mental health, inflammation, immunity, and cancer risk

• Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and interdisciplinary collaboration with dietitians

These courses are especially valuable for clinicians practicing in internal medicine, family medicine, endocrinology, pediatrics, gastroenterology, cardiology, and preventive health. Whether you're offering brief dietary guidance during routine visits or collaborating on comprehensive nutrition care plans, FreeCME equips you with the tools to deliver more informed and effective counseling.
