Description

Following an initial national conference on Dietary Reference Intakes in 1998, Dietitians of Canada asked its members and other health professionals "What would be required to support incorporation of DRIs into practice". Education was a top priority, followed by tools needed for practice. Since 1998, presentations on DRIs at national conferences and regional events have raised awareness of the pending changes in nutrient requirements. This spring, Dietitians of Canada resolved to develop an in-depth education program for food, nutrition, and health professionals, with a wide geographic reach, easy access, and low cost. In order to accomplish these goals, we contracted a leading expert in the application and uses of DRIs, appointed an expert advisory committee to guide course development, and employed proven, widely used internet technology to deliver an inter-active course suited to adult learners. We have endeavoured to remain true to the information included in the DRI reports produced to date and have based course content on the publications of the National Academy of Sciences and Health Canada.
