Advanced Formula

WIC plays an important role in ensuring that appropriate formulas are issued to participants. Enhanced collaboration between WIC staff and health care providers is essential for making appropriate recommendations and providing the best services to WIC participants. This training will work to build the nutritionist’s skills and confidence in assessing a feeding, using professional judgment when making recommendations to health care providers, and reviewing Medical Documentation requests for exempt formulas.
