The RD2BE Podcast - What is the New Dietetics Application Process? (Pt.2)

"This episode is part of our mini series featuring the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics, otherwise known as ACEND. We are creating this series to clear up confusion and common misconceptions about ACEND and its relation to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as well as the Commission on Dietetic Registration. We are also in a transformative phase of dietetics with the new master's degree requirements, dietetics application process, and Advanced Practice Doctoral Standards created by ACEND where understanding these topics are crucial for pushing our profession forward. Join our conversation with Dr. Rayane AbuSabha, Executive Director of ACEND, in the series as we discuss what ACEND is, the new standards, and what steps you can take to uplift and advocate for our profession with these standards."

Episode highlights: What is DICAS? Why is the match system going away? What will the new process be to apply to programs? What will the program deadlines be? How will this new system benefit and affect students?
