ForwardSymposium Session: Using Our Nutrition "SciVantage" in Today's Food Conversation
RDs are leading experts in food and nutrition but there are other voices – often non-credentialed – emerging as health authorities commanding consumers' attention. The science and facts communicated by RDs are being drowned out by opinion and emotionally charged misconceptions, both online and in traditional media channels.
Join Jaime Schwartz Cohen as she helps RDs reclaim the position as the premiere authority on food and nutrition. Jaime will address strategies that empower the nutrition community to break through the clutter and use science to our advantage to challenge erroneous information.
This is not a webinar or course for purchase - this is a module for credit claiming for our 2023 Spring Symposium attendees and cannot be purchased or taken by non-attendees. These sessions are exclusive to our Symposium; however, the topics may be revisited in the future in the form of a webinar or self-study course.

- Employ three resources that help nutrition professionals effectively communicate science and facts and challenge opinions and emotionally charged information.
