Introduction to Nutrition Professions
Welcome
This course is highly recommended as a valuable elective if you are thinking of the nutrition field as a future educational or professional career goal, or are interested in pursuing the new AS-T Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. This course provides an orientation to the Nutrition and Dietetics professions, including exploration of educational/career opportunities in the field, and development of skills to achieve academic and career goals. We will focus on the scope and nature of work in the nutrition field, including higher education pathways, career opportunities, professional roles, skills, responsibilities, and ethics. You will have the opportunity for self-exploration of your goals, interests, and abilities. There will also be guest presentations by nutrition professionals who are gainfully employed, and networking opportunities with registered dietitians.
