Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

DEI is important because it helps make everyone feel welcome and fosters a positive work culture.  The Academy requires all preceptors to complete annual DEI training.  For quick reference, free trainings are listed below.

Ethics

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Commission on Dietetic Registration has established principles and ethical standards for practitioners.  They are posted on the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s website.

Registered Dietitians need 1 ethics CPEU per 5 year cycle.  If you are a member of AND, you can read this article and take the quiz free of charge & for a fee for non- members: Approaches to Ethical Decision-Making: Ethics in Practice 2023 Update
