More than two decades ago, Ronni Chernoff, a former president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said "Dietitians have lost opportunities by not branching out." This CPE program provides the reader with some potentially new or expanded career opportunities. It also opens the thought process to consider new areas of graduate education to broaden the professional base of knowledge we bring to the table. Staying on the cutting edge is essential for dietiitans at all stages of their career.

This course helps new and experienced nutrition practitioners (RDNs and NDTRs) understand the historical and current influences on the dietetic profession, including the significant events and perspectives that have influenced nutrition research and the implications of the results. It also sets the groundwork for RDNs and NDTRs to develop their careers to increase access to care for our patients and communities, while providing for rich and rewarding career experiences. Readers can broaden their perspectives for the opportunities that are available, and be empowered to create new pathways for success.
