DID YOU MEET (AT THE CAFÉ CONFERENCE) THE FOLKS BEHIND THE NEWEST CERTIFICATION FOR OUR PROFESSION?
The Future of Food/Education has a new certification for foodservice professionals: the Certified Culinary Medicine Professional (CCMP).
Featuring a hybrid 45-credit curriculum comprised of online education, live conference learning, and hands on teaching kitchen modules, the CCMP program is designed for those passionate about integrating science-based nutrition research into their culinary skillset and will also equip candidates with the nutritional knowledge and culinary skills to optimize health.
CAFÉ will help educate the educators to the possibility of achieving this certification as well as integrating the modules into your existing curriculum.
This, in my opinion is a major breakthrough and offering guidance for culinary education of the future. It has been designed to help communicate practical, effective guidance to consumers as well as learn/reinforce the skill to produce food that is healthy and delicious.
Stay tuned for more information via “The Gold Medal Classroom” and CAFÉ Talks podcast.
