The Hard Copy version comes in an easy-to-use three ring binder with reproducible patient education materials. Hard copy manuals are updated every two years. If you are a hospital or organization that may purchase multiple hard copy manuals, please consider the Intranet version for its economical price. Most Intranet purchases are cheaper than multiple hard copy orders.

The Internet version is perfect for practitioners and dietetic students who want worry free quarterly updates, built-in search capabilities, cross-referenced topics, keyword definitions, online calculators, and the escape of a 700 plus page paper back manual.

Can't make up your mind between the Hard Copy or the Internet version? Combination ordering is available. You can purchase a Hard Copy and an Internet version for a reduced price.
