Abstract
Dietetics educators in the United States have followed closely the Educational Competencies Steering Committee's development of the core competencies for entry-level dietitians (1). In preparation for the mandatory implementation of these standards (2), educators are reviewing and updating their dietetics education curricula. Although current curriculum content meets standards established previously by the Commission on Accreditation/Approval for Dietetics Education (CAADE) (3), forward-thinking educators continually monitor the subtle and not-so-subtle changes in the workplace that affect professional practice. Competency measurement and quality improvement dominate every practice setting (4,5), increasing the demand for a dynamic, competitive curriculum that reflects evolving dietetics practice. In a sense, the most effective dietetics programs foreshadow the introduction of new educational standards.
