What do you see as opportunities for the future of the nutrition and dietetics profession?
Food and nutrition professionals are trained to work in all aspects of health care and in the nutrition industry. We are well trained, able to adapt to work in any setting, which allows the public to see dietitians and dietetic technicians as the experts in food and nutrition. Change from the current sick-care model to one of health promotion and wellness will allow us to leverage our knowledge and skills and help pave the way for the public to live healthy, happy lives!
