The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics House of Delegates has recently updated UAND on two important topics we though you should know about:
1) Position Concept Proposal: The Role of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Nutrition Therapy in the Prevention and Treatment of Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes
A new position paper concept on the topic of type 2 diabetes has been approved by the Academy Positions Committee. The next step is for the proposal (available to members at: http://www.eatright.org/Members/content.aspx?id=6442476965) to be reviewed by Academy members, offering the opportunity to provide comments. Academy members should provide comments by February 6 via this survey.
Comments will be reviewed and changes will be made to the proposal, if needed. If comments warrant moving forward with developing a position, a motion will be put forth to the House of Delegates related to the future of this potential position paper. Voting on this motion will take place in March. To learn more about providing your comments on the proposed position, read Responding to a Proposed Position Concept.
2) Abstracts for FNCE 2014 Innovations in Practice and Education sessions Due February 20th
The Council on Future Practice is pleased to offer its sixth Innovations in Practice and Education session at FNCE in Atlanta. This session is designed to showcase innovations in the education and training of students and practitioners. To learn more about the session, please visit www.eatright.org/
Lastly, in coming months we can look forward to the Academy elections and the spring mega issue “Engaging Members in Research.”
