This training is aimed at registered dietitians who see pediatric clients in their practices, but who have not had recent training in pediatric nutrition. This training is an excellent addition to the RD's Professional Development Portfolio and can be used to help document the dietitian's competencies with children of different ages as required by JCAHO

The 3-day course is based on a core curriculum, then tailored to meet the specific needs of participants. Presentors include nutritionists and health care professionals who are experienced in pediatrics. Participants will also be included in the on-going Pediatric Nutrition Consultation On-Line listserve after completing the course.

Registration is limited to 30 participants to keep the training interactive, so early registration is suggested.

If you have questions about the training or the application process, contact Beth Ogata at 206-598-1899 or bogata@u.washington.edu.

WHAT PAST TRAINEES HAVE SAID ABOUT THE TRAINING

• Simply being exposed to the knowledge and expertise presented makes me much more comfortable with issues that come up. I know where to look or turn if I don't know the answer.

• I learned a great deal at the training and have found many aspects of it helpful. I think the most helpful was meeting "the experts" and obtaining resources. I do not feel so isolated now.

• I'm so impressed with all the speakers! They are tremendously knowledgeable. I feel I'll be able to help our local WIC agencies much better, when nutrition special needs / questions come up!

• I have learned so much and feel more secure in knowing there is access to professionals in the field who can help with problem solving.
