Core competencies demonstrating proficiency in knowledge and experience gained throughout the UT CPD
CRDN 2.4 Function as a member of interprofessional teams.
Activity 1: Participated in the UT School of Nursing IPE simulation for pharmacy, dietetic, social work, and speech-language pathology students to gain a more realistic experience working with other professions.
Activity 2: Participated in virtual simulation Health and Well Being for All: Exploring Social Determinants that Impact Health and Health Outcomes. The professions represented were public health, social work, dietetics, nursing, clinic medical director, and city council member. Role-playing focused on choosing a position that was unfamiliar to you. For example, being a social worker or a city official, encouraged thinking from a different viewpoint to attain a desired outcome for the community. Specific topics discussed were the accessibility of neighborhood residents to access green spaces, fresh whole foods, and adequate medical care at the local clinic.
Activity 2: Become a member of DCTX and participate in promoting other opportunities for current and future dietitians to expand and share knowledge among our peers.
Activity 3: I am currently a student member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and will transition to full professional membership in the coming year.
