Creating More Equitable and Inclusive Spaces within the Dietetics Profession
Speaker: Francoise Knox Kazimierczuk PhD, RDN, CSSD, LD, ATC, CSCS, NSCA-CPT, FAND
Webinar
In this presentation, RDNs/NDTRs will learn about the types of racism and their impacts within the dietetics profession. Additionally, RDNs/NDTRs will engage in activities to begin the process of cultivating cultural competence and humility. As the nation becomes more diverse and as the inequities within our society are laid bare, it is critical for RDNs/NDTRs to be able to participate in meaningful dialogue for and with our clients. The role of the RDN/NDTR is paramount in managing chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, but can only be done via a lens of equity and inclusivity to be effective at addressing the disparities which exist.
Objectives:
- Discuss the impacts of structural and cultural racism in dietetics.
- Explain the interconnectedness of cultural competence and humility.
- Identify Three Strategies to Address Bias within Dietetics.
