About me......
I am a Registered Dietitian, with registration to work in the Province of Ontario, Canada and credentialed by the Commission of Dietetic Registration in the United States of America.
I have in-depth understanding about the regulation of health professions in the province on Ontario. I have led teams of dietitians and dietetic interns as a Professional Practice Leader in large teaching hospitals and the supermarket space. My past clinical experience includes Nephrology, Oncology and Diabetes.
My education is grounded in nutritional sciences, clinical practice and public health. I have also been a sessional instructor for university and college courses in clinical nutrition and food service respectively.
Here are a few reasons why I am uniquely positioned to offer this course:
- I have developed multiple choice tests for registered dietitians in the province on Ontario, including the entry to practice examination for dietitians and the Jurisprudence Knowledge and Assessment Tool (College of Dietitians of Ontario).
- I have worked with test developers to create multiple choice examinations for registered dietitians in the past and have learned much about writing good multiple-choice questions.
- I am very familiar with the Competencies and Performance Indicators to be assessed in Past and current CDRE through working with them intimately for the past seven years.
- I have been offering this course since 2016. Experience matters. I take feedback from dietitians who have taken the course to continuously improve the course.
- I became a dietitian in 1986 so you can see I have more than 30 years of experience. I am deliberate in keeping my education, skills and expertise current, specifically for this course.
Disclaimer
I do not have any current affiliation with any of the dietetic regulatory bodies in Canada nor the Alliance of Canadian Dietetic Regulatory Bodies that present a conflict of interest in offering this course.
