VRG INTERACTIVE ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR DIETETICS STUDENTS
Polls show that consumer interest in vegan, vegetarian, and other plant-based diets is high. The food industry, long-term care facilities, colleges and universities, hospitals, dietitians in private practice, and many others will need more registered dietitians with expertise in vegetarian/vegan nutrition.
In the past, The VRG welcomed dietetic interns from the University of Maryland, College Park, to our office and recently to an online training where they've learned about vegetarian/vegan nutrition, interacted with our interns, and sampled vegan foods. We plan to offer a similar online training to other programs that educate undergraduate students and dietetic interns.
The free training programs provide students with a firm grounding in veggie nutrition and allows them to explore and engage with VRG Nutrition Advisor Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, a recognized expert in vegetarian/vegan nutrition. Thank you to Phyllis McShane, MS, RD, LD, former dietetic internship director at the University of Maryland, College Park, for generously sharing her extensive experience in dietetic training and to Megan Lautz, MS, RD, CSCS, TSAC-F, for designing flyers promoting the training programs.
