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

Methods• An online survey of educators
and practitioners to assess resource needs and preferences – over 90% of academic/internship programs and just under 100 community-based practitioners/preceptors provided feedback
