Advocating for Folic Acid: A Guide for Health Professionals
http://www.folicacid.net is a free, web-based course--designed for current and emerging health professionals--provides information such as the benefits of folic acid and strategies for counseling individuals regarding folic acid intake. Users are presented with numerous interactive elements that allow them to learn and test their knowledge, including a case study and a virtual kitchen. 

The module also includes a section that contains detailed information for specific health professionals (allied health, dentistry, dietetics, medicine, nursing, optometry, pharmacy and public health), such as why and when they should counsel individuals. This project was made possible through funding from the March of Dimes. The course was developed with the assistance of numerous subject matter experts and professionals in maternal and child health. You can track your students progress in the pre and post test. There are special tools for faculty.
