Special Round Table Conference Call for
Internship Directors and Professors who teach Nutrition Counseling Skills

The idea started on the list serve of the "Dietetic Educators of Practitioners" Practice Group. 

This will be an informal conference call to:

  • share resources

  • discuss techniques for teaching these skills

  • ask for help with frustrating situations (if time) 

  • more?

I will host/facilitate. The callers will decide the topics. 

The next call will be scheduled in the fall. Look for an announcement in the Educators newsletter.
