What Administrative Dietitian skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Dr. Stephanie Fanelli PhD, RDN: The field of nutrition and dietetics is so broad, with roles for dietitians in a vast array of industries, clinical and non-clinical settings, and non-profit and government avenues, among many others. Nutrition and dietetics professionals should be open to trying out new roles in a variety of different work settings to explore their own interests and strengths. Ask questions, learn from your peers and colleagues, and speak up when you have an idea or disagree with current practices; As a recent graduate beginning your career, you may not have as much practical experience as your colleagues, but you may be more familiar with the most up-to-date evidence-based practices and recommendations. Become involved in various levels of the field ranging from local or organizational to regional, national, and even international levels, such as membership to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the American Society for Nutrition, or the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior. Over time, your involvement in the field will morph into meaningful professional relationships and career opportunities. Develop an approach for staying up-to-date on the latest evidence and recommendations in nutrition and dietetics. The field is evidence-based, meaning that clinical guidelines or practice recommendations are always evolving to reflect most recent research. Identify key resources for finding updated information and staying in-the-know with nutrition research.
