Background• Enhancement of competency
statements focusing on entry-level practice supported by Performance Indicators (2009-2012)
• New Integrated Competencies for Dietetic Education and Practice (ICDEP) set as the standard for education & training for dietitians, practice registration & accreditation
• Gap analysis of academic & practicum programs across Canada revealed that not all programs would be able to meet the new ICDEPs www.pdep.ca

Background …• With funding from the PHAC,
Dietitians of Canada undertook the development of bilingual, nationally accessible and validated web-based tools and resources that would support the attainment of population/public health nutrition competencies, focused on conducting a community needs assessment & prioritizing needs.

Next Steps• Show-case the online learning tools
with educators, practitioners & students at the CPHA & the DC National Conference
• Develop a Community of Practice web-site for ongoing support and sharing of resources and experiences in implementing the ICDEP
• Adapt resources for French language• Launch materials and promote them
to learners and educators - late fall• Collection and synthesis of ongoing
evaluation/feedback of the modules
