The Council on Future Practice is excited to share two new resources for member use. These two resources are:
- Dietetics Career Development Guide and related definitions for focus area, specialist and advanced practice. The Guide and definitions can be found on the Council on Future Practice web page at http://www.eatright.org/Members/content.aspx?id=7665 . The Dietetics Career Development Guide illustrates how a practitioner, regardless of focus area, can attain increasing levels of knowledge and skill throughout a career. Through life-long learning and professional development, practitioners acquire and develop skills that lead to increased competencies and levels of practice.
- The Visioning Report which projects future practice for the DTR, entry-level RD, specialist RD and advanced practice RD. We encourage you to review and consider this report as it relates to your career. This report can be found at http://www.eatright.org/Members/content.aspx?id=6442463224
Watch for future educational opportunities to assist your members for utilizing these new resources.
The Council on Future Practice works in collaboration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration and Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education to project the future practice needs for the profession of dietetics. Check out the work of the Council by visiting its web page at http://www.eatright.org/futurepractice/ .
