Abstract
The Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education determines essential components that guide both didactic and supervised practice dietetic education programs. Dietetic education programs need to demonstrate that their curriculum and student learning activities are compatible with these educational and practice expectations. American Dietetic Association's commitment to an evidence-based practice model in 2002, the adoption of the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) in 2003, and the development of Standardized Language for Nutrition Diagnoses in 2005 represent recent significant changes in the way that dietetics professionals are now expected to practice.
