As the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics enters its second century in 2017, many nutrition and dietetics professionals want to know what is being planned for the future of our profession. With major changes in technology, an aging and diverse population, consumer interest in sustainable eating, food as medicine, health promotion/disease prevention, and genomics, the world around us is changing rapidly, and our profession must change to keep up. Regardless of what happens with health care reform, changes to the health care system are inevitable, and it is crucial to have evidence-based, cost-effective, collaborative care to support the value of nutrition and dietetics services and contain growing health care costs. All of these changes impact the education of future professionals as well as the continuing education of current professionals. So what’s in store for RDNs and NDTRs in the next 10 to 15 years ... and beyond?

Learning Objectives

After attending this session, nutrition professionals should be able to:

  1. Understand the basis of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Council on Future Practice “Visioning Report 2017: A Preferred Path Forward for the Nutrition and Dietetics Profession,” which includes 12 priority (actionable) recommendations to advance the profession.
  2. Learn about The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation Second Century Initiative, including the Nutrition Impact Summit, as well as how members can take action and get involved with initiatives to move our profession forward.
