In addition to my current position where I help precept students on various tasks, my time with CDR has also allowed me to work with students, most recently providing a learning lounge presentation and Q&A with students over continuing education. I also serve on the exam panel subcommittee where I was able to work with ASCEND on the most recent entry level practice audit where I gained knowledge of their accreditation process and how they use the audit data to help build required curriculum for programs. This work also shows my commitment to dietetics education for all credentialed providers. |
