Nutrition Science and Dietetics Program Accredited
到2030年.
教师 and students in the School of Population Health, Nutrition & Wellness participate in a recent dedication service taking place in the 霍华德演艺中心 lobby.
The bet365中文大学 Nutrition Science & Dietetics program as well as the Dietetic Internship program have been accredited through 2030 by the 认证 Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
Andrews first received accreditation for its nutrition program in 1974. At the time, the school offered a combined program of both didactic and internship learning. In 1990, these programs split into the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) and the Dietetic Internship Program (DI) as they are today. T在这里 are currently around twenty-five students in the DPD and DI programs. 认证 from the 认证 Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics, 也被称为ACEND, has been upheld for both programs for the past 33 years.
ACEND outlines several standards that nutrition and dietetics programs are required to meet in order to maintain accreditation. These standards include “program characteristics and resources, 项目任务, 目标, objectives and program evaluation and improvement, curriculum and learning activities, student learning assessment and curriculum improvement, 教师和导师, 有监督的练习场地, information to prospective students and the public, and policies and procedures for enrolled students” describes Gretchen Krivak, director of the Didactic Program in Nutrition and Dietetics.
To ensure that accreditation standards are met each year, program directors are required to submit annual reports that include data on graduating students, enrollment numbers and performance on the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist exam. “Data collection occurs continuously to ensure that the curriculum is adequate for student learning and changes can be made when needed. The program directors also closely monitor the RDN pass rates and reach out to students who may need additional resources to prepare for the exam,克里瓦克分享道. The School of Population Health, Nutrition and Wellness also holds a faculty assessment retreat to maintain data collection standards and provide regular reports for the faculty to discuss.
The “Occupational Handbook” from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a projected job growth of 7% in the next ten years in the field of nutrition and dietetics. “Our data that we collect concludes that students are easily finding jobs in the field right after completion of their credentials,克里瓦克说. With a yearly average of over 5,600个职位空缺, graduating students can obtain jobs as nutritionists and dietitians and go on to work in specialized fields such as sports nutrition, 糖尿病和肿瘤. 认证 in the Nutrition Science and Dietetics program and the Dietetic Internship program provides opportunities for bet365中文大学 graduates to continue to serve this field.
