Hello Everyone! It is National Nutrition Month throughout March! We are taking this time to advocate Public Policy and Public Health in the world of Dietetics! There is a lot going on and we think its important for future dietitians to know about! Thank you again for joining us for Welcome Day. I hope Jodi Wright was able to answer your questions regarding the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) and how they effect the profession and education of dietitians across the country. UPCOMING MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT! Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day is this month! Help us celebrate our local RDNs and fellow dietetics students at our QCDC Meeting on Wednesday, March 17th! Members in attendance will receive a QCDC T-Shirt in the mail! What better way to promote the role of RD’s to the public and the media than with repping some sweet QC Dietetics SWAG! On Wednesday, March 17th @ 12:15pm join the QCDC and Kathleen Hiltwine for a discussion of her work as a Public Health Nutrition Consultant and Nutrition Education Coordinator in the Bureau of WIC at the Pennsylvania Department of Health! Kathleen trains, supports, and provides 24 local agencies technical assistance in implementing the WIC program in their respective geographic area. More specifically, her responsibility includes engaging with stakeholders, grant writing, program monitoring, answering questions related to federal regulations and state policy, training local agency staff on various nutrition education-related topics, developing nutrition education and training resources, and most recently, implementing telehealth!
