6 reviews for 5 Minute MI: Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Health When Time is Short

  1. Ellen R. Glovsky, PhD, RD, LDN

    As a Motivational Interviewing trainer, I have received many questions about how to use the skills and techniques of MI when time is short. 5 Minute MI provides more ideas, explanation and depth to this subject, which will be welcomed by dietitians and other health care providers. This book is well written and clear, with many sample conversations with clients illustrating those ideas. Reading it I found new ways of understanding and teaching MI, which is certainly a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this book for dietitians and others working with clients to move in the direction of health behavior change. – Ellen R. Glovsky, PhD, RD, LDN, Motivational Interviewing Trainer/Speaker/Author, Member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers.

  2. Molly Kellogg, CEDRD, LCSW, Author

    This is the perfect reference for those moments you get stuck and frustrated in your limited time with clients. There is always something you can do to guide the person toward positive change. Here you are offered creative and effective ideas for being a time-sensitive change counselor. Work your way through it now, then come back for years to dip in for more wisdom. – Molly Kellog, CEDRD, LCSW, Author of Counseling Tips for Nutrition Therapists: Practice Workbook series, Member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers

  3. Angelina Maia, PhD, RDN, LDN

    The beauty of this book is two-fold: one, the concepts of Motivational Interviewing are explained in a way that help the reader process and apply MI in their everyday work and two, the examples presented are done so in a weight-neutral, non-shaming way demonstrating a kinder, more empathetic approach to patient care. This book offers clear, concise guidance on ways to develop your MI skills to enhance your current practice and support the development of meaningful connections with your patients. – Angelina Moore Maia, PhD, RDN, LDN, Member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers

  4. Megrette Fletcher, M.Ed., RDN, CDCES, Author

    Dawn Clifford has the amazing ability to explain the big picture of MI and provide the step-by-step dialogue of what to say. I am in love with 5 Minute MI because it is packed with real-world examples that you can start using immediately. Regardless if you are new to MI or have been using it for years, this course will accelerate your MI skills. Megrette Fletcher, M.Ed., RDN, CDCES, Author of Diabetes Counseling and Educational Activities: Helping clients without harping on weight.

  5. Lindy Goist, RD LD CLC CLS, McDonald, OH

    I absolutely loved this course and the instructor. The book was very easy to read but also informative. It fits nicely with my philosophy of building up people, so they know they are capable of meeting goals that are important to them on their journeys to better health. I would definitely take more courses from this instructor.

  6. Kimberly Rayman, RDN, LD, Columbia, SC

    I loved this course. It has helped me so much in talking to patients, especially those who initially say they “don’t need any diet education” or those who are overly talkative.

How Testing Works

Skelly Skills offers two types of Continuing Education (CE), also known as Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The two types of CDR-approved CE we offer are:

  1. Prior approved enduring (formerly known as self-study) CE courses using printed, online or eBook formats.
  2. Prior approved live, which are CE webinars.

For each of these types of CE, we offer Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs — also called CEUs, clock hours, or CPD hours).

Prior Approved Enduring (formerly Self-study) Courses

Our prior approved enduring CE courses all include a CE exam. This is important for some of you because you *may* be limited by the number of prior approved enduring (aka self-study) hours you can accumulate. For each course, you will need to complete the CE exam through our online testing system. It’s easy and you’ll get your CE Certificate of Completion as soon as you pass the course (or complete the Feedback Survey, in the case of our one-hour on-demand CE webinars).

Prior Approved Live (Live Webinars)

Our live CE webinars include a Feedback Survey. Within 24 hours of the live webinar, we will send an email with the Assessment ID and Key ID to complete the Feedback Survey through our testing system. Once you complete that, you’ll immediately be able to print and/or download your CE Certificate of Completion (it will also be emailed to you).

How to Purchase and Complete a Course

Step 1: Visit Skelly Skills and choose the topic and book or other course type you want to study. The number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours are shown on each product page. Note to international customers: You can change the display currency using the icons on the right of the page.

Step 2: Pay online—you’ll get virtual courses immediately or else you’ll receive the book in the mail along with the CE exam booklet (we call this a ‘CE Evaluation’). Note: for books that we publish in-house, we include the CE exam and testing info in the back of the book, not as a separate booklet.)

Step 3: Study the course content. Once you have finished, complete the online exam at our testing site using the Assessment ID and Key ID (password) provided to you in the CE Evaluation, or on the course webpage if you are completing an on-demand webinar or online course.

That’s it! Once you have passed your exam, you’ll receive a PDF certificate of completion which includes the number of CPEUs/CEUs/CPD hours.
