_______________________________________________
Content of ABFSE curriculum outlines was
drawn from the list of References included in each outline.
ABFSE does not require or recommend the use of any particular textbook. Each accredited program selects the textbooks best
suited for use in their instructional programs.
Some texts may utilize terminology that is not representative of the diversity, equity and inclusion expectations of ABFSE. Instructors
utilizing the textbooks should address the issue.
