Summary: ACEND RecommendationsMaster’s degree preparation for entry level,

“generalist”, registered dietitian nutritionists. Bachelor’s degree preparation for entry level nutrition and dietetics technicians.

Associate’s

degree preparation for community nutrition and health assistants.

Each

degree level has competencies identified.

Experiential

learning integrated into each degree program.

Each

degree level

is designed to prepare

graduates for employment.

Completing

one part of the educational model would not be a requirement to enter a program at a higher degree level in the model, but each degree level would build on the preceding degree level knowledge and competence.

Future

exploration of high school and doctoral level

programs, where doctoral training would focus on “specialization”.Slide3

Potentially disruptive recommendations*

Impact on ACEND-accredited graduate degree programs that integrate academic coursework and supervised practice into a seamless (1-step) program as a requirement to obtain the future entry level RDN credential.

Impact on ACEND-accredited UG programs that integrate coursework with

supervised practice

.

Impact on current relationships that have a volunteer—based supervised practice

Impact on specialized MS programs (i.e., public health nutrition)

Impact on 2-year college programs that are a source for transfer students to 4-year research institutions

Impact on student debt if additional resources are put on the backs of students

*with regards to the structure of academic programs and the anticipated changes in program enrollment.Slide4

Implications for ANDP MembersLarge undergraduate programs preparatory for the RD credential will move to a coordinated graduate program.

Resources required to deliver small enrollment graduate programs will necessitate redesign of undergraduate programs and faculty recruitment to meet the new competencies in undergraduate and graduate programs.

(Conversations with the Provost’s office: If Research

I

institutions have

to choose between Research training with F&A

from grants or requests for additional

resources

for

Professional Practice training,

the choice could favor Research. Slide5

ANDP Recommendations for ACEND

Generate and collate data with regards to the impact on trainees (students) and programs (costs to the universities, programs and students; influence on how universities perceive structural changes, how the changes impact the research arm of the program)Recommend guidelines for pilot testing of new undergraduate and graduate competencies

Consider multiple routes for training “advanced level practitioners”

Post BS experiences

Provide guidance for how supervised practice could be integrated into the curriculum

Provide guidance for continued viability of existing so-called ‘isolated’ or stand-alone dietetics programs, including

Dietetic internships

DPD programsSlide6

2015 NDEP Regional MeetingsMembers of the ACEND Board will be

discussing the Rational Document and the ACEND report recently released which describes the proposed model for moving the DPD to graduate (MS) level.

The

and members

of the Academy Board of Directors
