Summary - Week 1

By the end of this module you are able to:

• describe the role of both DTR and RD in the nutrition care process
• differentiate between the roles of other health professionals
• identify skills needed to be successful in a healthcare team
• identify the regulations related to evaluating a patient's nutritional status and care

Recap

In this module, we learned more about an NDTR and RDN's role in a healthcare team. We discussed our skills, what we hope to gain and some of our fears with getting out into the field. We became more familiar with what to expect and how to show up professionally as well as legal responsibilities like following HIPAA regulations. Way to go!

Looking Ahead

Coming up next we will be getting to know the Nutrition Care Process,  how the NDTR can play a vital role in screening and nutrition assessment. See you there!
