Dietetics Advisory Board
The Advisory Board for the Didactic Program in Dietetics provides key stakeholder counsel, helping the program provide continuous improvement. The board specifically advises the Director, Assistant Director, and Dietetics curriculum committee on important topics such as feedback on how the program goals and objective targets and learning outcomes and activities align with educational needs, and scientific and workplace gaps. It is for this reason that key stakeholders include representation of individuals from various levels of practice who serve to a large extent as preceptors for our graduates when they are accepted into supervised practice. The board is made up of other program directors (from a variety of program types), a current as well as an immediate past student representative, and at least one retired faculty member who also has extensive work experience and knowledge of the program's accomplishments.
