The newly updated (2026) online vitamin D*education course, Moving Vitamin D Research into Practice: Addressing Vitamin D Deficiency to Improve Patient Outcomes, Population Health & Reduce Costs (approved for 11 CEs for registered nurses), was created to help end the vitamin D deficiency epidemic by educating others on the latest research on vitamin D, importance of vitamin D for health, the steps each person needs to take in order to achieve their target vitamin D level, and the basic knowledge needed to answer the most common questions you might be asked about vitamin D. It aims to get the latest vitamin D public health science and best practice protocols, direct from world-renowned vitamin D researchers, into the hands of healthcare professionals and individuals… moving research into practice to impact individual and patient outcomes and population health, and potentially reducing healthcare costs across the globe.

“I am truly grateful for the openness and generosity of your work, which I see as a valuable contribution to public health education… After going through all 83 lessons and the 69 work tools available on your platform, I have come to see it as one of the most comprehensive and reliable resources on this topic. I especially appreciate your ability to present complex scientific information in a clear, accessible, and impactful way.” Francis P
“I was impressed with the quantity and quality of resources. Thank you for sharing! I plan to use some of the materials in my teaching practice.”
“Thought the course was well done, format easy to follow, provided actionable steps.”
“The course contained a ton of research-based information and resources. I was amazed at the data and how nicely it was compiled in this format. Well done!! Although I haven’t had much time yet to pass along the information since taking the course, I definitely plan to!”
“The course was very comprehensive, and I think this info will give clinicians confidence in responding methodically to vitamin D deficiency! I learned a TON that I didn’t know before, and the autoimmune disease and prenatal health sections are memorable.” Jan K.
“I was looking for CEUs for my license and came away with so much more. This course was well thought out to help me understand everything about Vit D and had science to back it up. Easy to follow and broken into good sized chunks of information. Every healthcare professional (but anyone could) should take this course.” Elizabeth P.
“As a radiologist specializing in mammography, I came to this course with a clinical interest in vitamin D’s role in cancer biology and patient outcomes. What I didn’t expect was how fundamentally it would reshape my understanding of vitamin D as a hormone system rather than a simple supplement.
“The course is rigorously evidence-based without being inaccessible. It bridges the gap between the reductive ‘take your vitamin D’ messaging most patients receive and the genuinely complex, tissue-specific biology that makes vitamin D one of the most consequential molecules in human health. I’m not just certified, but genuinely changed in how I counsel patients and think about sun exposure, supplementation, and sufficiency across the lifespan.” Nakiisa Rogers, MD – Radiologist-Breast Imaging Specialist
