营养学教学计划

One path to starting the journey to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is by completing a 营养学教学计划 (DPD). Registered Dietitian Nutritionists work in a variety of settings including community and public health settings, 企业健康计划, 食品和营养相关业务, 医院或其他医疗机构, 私人诊所, research, 和大学.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the employment of dietitians to increase by 11 percent from 2018 to 2028, 比所有职业的平均水平快得多. The median annual wage for dietitians and nutritionists was $60,370 in May 2018. This is due to an increasing emphasis on disease prevention through improving dietary habits.

 

DPD教育理念

The 营养学教学计划 (DPD) prepares students for entry into supervised practice. Students are encouraged to develop professional habits. Thus, the nutrition program has standard evaluation components for group work and preceptor evaluations of practice in appropriate courses. Students with faculty are to actively participate in the teaching-learning process. As a student progresses through the DPD s/he is increasingly responsible for mastery of course content and thus develops skills for life-long learning.

项目描述

Students must apply and be accepted into the UIW DPD. 本科 students complete the didactic requirements while completing the Nutrition and Dietetics track of the B.S. 营养学学位. Post-graduate students may complete DPD requirements as a non-degree seeking student or as a graduate student who completes the DPD requirements while concurrently completing a M.S. 营养学学位.

The 营养学教学计划 (DPD) at the 道成肉身的大学 is accredited by the 认证 Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 南滨江广场120号, Suite 2190, Chicago, IL 60606-6995, (800) 877-1600, ext. 5400, acend@eatright.org.
