I’m thrilled to announce the release of Launching Your Dietetics Career (American Dietetic Association, 2011), which I co-authored with fellow dietitians, Kyle Shadix and Jenna Bell. Finally a guide covering today’s careers in nutrition–a clear and concise survey of the world of the RD, from the healthcare industry to careers in PR and media. Filled with interviews and advice from the movers and shakers in dietetics, the guide covers the difference between a nutritionist and an RD, educational options, the internship, registration, secrets to success, portfolio preparation, getting a job, and much more. Educators will appreicate this guide for their professional seminars in dietetics.

Just wanted to let you know about a professional development opportunity. 

eMindful will be hosting a 10-month Certificate Program entitled Mindful Eating for Health Care Professionals. The program will feature two teachers from Duke Integrative Medicine: Dr. Ruth Wolever and Jennifer Davis, M.S., L.P.C. Jennifer provides health psychology services for multiple programs at the Duke Center for Living, including Duke Executive Health Program, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs, and the Getting on Track Weight Management Program.  Ruth Wolever, Ph.D., is a clinical health psychologist and Director of Research for Duke Integrative Medicine, and has been a principal investigator in NIH-funded Mindful Eating research for the past 10 years.

The course meets monthly for 10 months inside eMindful’s live, interactive, online classroom where both teachers and students can see, hear, and interact with each other.  21 (possibly 24) continuing education credit hours are available and a Certification of Completion will be provided at the conclusion of the program.  Course outline is available.

Based on the outline and my interaction with another RD who has participated in the training previously, I think it will be good.  Also, they are offering a discount when I refer people.  You just use code “CTRD“.  The full program is regularly priced at $550, but if you use the discount code, you may attend at the reduced price of $299.  If you don’t wish to make the 10-month commitment, you may take any of the individual classes at a discounted rate of $39… just use the discount code “CTRD” to receive a reduction from the regular $89 per class price.
 
Lastly, this program grants me $25 for every person who signs up using the CTRD code.  I will donate all of that money to the American Dietetic Association Foundation scholarship fund.  (I shared this message with some of my Connecticut colleagues on 1/7/10 and informed them that all donations will go to CDA’s scholarship fund.)
 
Looking forward to your thoughts.
 
Sincerely,
Milton
