Designed for use by dietetic educators, undergraduate and graduate students, dietetic interns and new-to-practice public health practitioners, this peer-reviewed two-part resource will support learners to achieve specific entry-level competencies and performance indicators within the Integrated Competencies in Dietetic Education and Practice.
This resource includes a PowerPoint presentation and workbook that complements the web-based interactive course, Assessing Needs and Setting Priorities in Population and Public Health. The content is taught through a case-based approach to demonstrate how a new dietitian working with community stakeholders develops the knowledge and skills to plan, conduct, synthesize, organize and prioritize the findings from a community nutrition needs assessment. Find out more details here.
By viewing the PowerPoint presentation and completing the learning activities in the workbook, you will be able to:
- Describe the reasons why assessing groups, communities and populations is important in dietitian professional practice
- Assess groups, communities and populations according to size, demographics, needs, strengths and abilities
- Identify assets and resources available in community practice
- Collect, organize and use sources of information relevant to the proposed program
