NEW! Culinary Medicine Certification for Food Service Professionals!
Elizabeth DeRose with Frederick Community College has teamed up with our sponsor the Certified Culinary Medicine Professional to offer this exciting course this summer.
Ms. DeRose writes: "We are the first culinary school in the country to offer this program, for the 2nd time this summer, and proudly graduated the first group of Certified Culinary Medicine Professionals (CCMP's)!!
This summer we are thrilled to offer this program both in person OR as a virtual course, via structured remote simultaneously with the instructors and students in the in-person class.
We hope you will consider this for yourselves and pass it along to your networks. Thankfully due to strong scholarship funding support, we are able to offer this Certification program tuition-free! Applicants would need to fill out a simple scholarship application.
Classes start Wednesday, May 15th and meet weekly from 8 AM to 12 PM til August 21st.
Because we are recording all of our sessions and offering this also as a virtual live remote program if someone has to miss a session, they can easily catch up via recording."
