Symposium Session: How to Ditch Dietitian Dissatisfaction and Make the Most of Your Career
In a profession where passion meets purpose, dietitians often grapple with being undervalued and undercompensated. A rise in dissatisfaction – as seen in forums from social media to clinical settings and in between – highlights the need for transformative approaches to boost dietitian’s career satisfaction and financial stability.
Award-winning author, registered dietitian nutritionist, and media personality, Bonnie Taub-Dix, will tackle dietetics dissatisfaction as she draws on data gleaned from a survey of hundreds of dietitians. Despite their extensive, science-based education and crucial role in health and wellness, many RDs feel overwhelmed and underappreciated. As an integral part of the health care team, it’s clear dietitians have a desire to shift from simply standing on the sidelines to not only actively participating but moreso succeeding in their careers.
If you’re ready to reclaim your passion and pride in dietetics, Bonnie will guide you through the process to do so. She will explain how to chart your path to a fulfilling future where you’re celebrated, not only for your expertise but also for your profound impact on public health. Leave this session ignited, equipped with strategies to make impactful changes in your job, and with a vision of a future where you are more satisfied professionally, personally, and financially. Reignite the joy in your practice and get the recognition you deserve as an indispensable health care professional.
