Abstract
With only half (53%) of schools across the country having a dedicated nutrition counseling course, (1) there is a need for another way to educate students on the important skills associated with counseling. Schools could implement online modules such as these to assist students in becoming more proficient in counseling. This paper will summarize research available for counseling theories, skills, and development of modules, and then discuss successful models that have been previously developed.
