In order to advance the profession of Dietetics, we must be forward thinking, embrace diversity/inclusion, and ready the next generation of Dietititians for practice in an ever changing world. We must utilize experienced practitioners as Instructors and Lecturers in our Dietetics classes in order to bring real life experiences into the classroom. We must also teach cultural competence to our future Dietitians, as well as to those more seasoned Dietitians. The opportunities for Dietitians are endless - we must learn from each other about these opportunities in order to grow.
Becoming an ACEND Practitioner representative is exciting and allows me to be part of an organization that ensures quality Nutrition education. This quality education produces excellent Dietitians whose opportunities are almost endless.
