PG Diploma (Dietetic Practice In Canada)
OFFERED BY IE Dietitians Network of Canada
Overview
The Internationally Trained Dietitians Network of Canada is a group for registered dietitians, international dietitians, and dietitian students in Canada and overseas. IEDNC was created to assist dietitians with international training who are moving to Canada or who are already there to further their careers in dietetics.
Through the registration process, we offer education, mentorship, support, networking, and direction. Our objective entails working with internationally trained dietitians to mentor and encourage prospective international dietitians as well as registered dietitians, putting them in a strong position to have fulfilling career pathways in Canada.
This will be accomplished by educating and developing reliable alliances with the aid of a sizable dietitian network.
