STUDENT PANEL | Focus on the Future: Building the Preceptor Skillset for Future Practice

April 19, 2023 - By ARC Health & Wellness Community

Caroline Passerrello, MS, RDN, LDN, Community Coordinator and Instructor, Dietitian Nutritionist Program at University of Pittsburgh

The 2022 Standards are now in effect for ACEND accredited programs, do you know what this means for students, preceptors, and future practice? If your retailer offers health screening events, partners with pharmacists for counseling services, or has considered these events you are an ideal practice setting to offer supervised experiential learning for the 2022 Standards! Hear about the future-focused educational requirements and critical self-reflection needed to elevate the role of a dietitian from three perspectives: a faculty member who coordinates student’s community rotation placements, a recent graduate of a Future Education Model Graduate Program (GP), and a current student in a GP.
Learning Objectives for all attendees – students and preceptors:
1. As a result of this session, attendees will be able to state one ACEND update to Standard 3: Curriculum and Learning Activities
2. After the session, attendees will be able to state one way they could demonstrate competence in Domain 5: Leadership and Career Management
3. After the session, attendees will state one way they will prepare themselves to preceptor for the 2022 Standards.
