Essential Practice Competencies

The Essential Practice Competencies provide overarching standards for two credentials, the Registered Dietitian (RD) and the Dietetic Technician, registered (DTR). Competencies provide a structured guide to help identify, evaluate, and develop the behaviors required for continuing competence. Unlike entry-level competencies, the essential practice competencies are intended for use throughout a nutrition and dietetics practitioner’s career.

 

There is an expectation that competencies will be used by the dietetics profession to: identify learning needs; guide continuing professional development and ongoing competence; assist in career progression and professional development; and to communicate the role and competence of the profession to stakeholders (i.e. employers, external accreditation bodies, the public, etc.).
