The need for diversity in our nutrition and dietetics practice is on the rise, especially as the clients we serve are from varying cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This presentation will dive into what it takes to ensure registered dietitian nutritionists and health professionals are doing their due diligence when it comes to providing culturally relevant food and nutrition recommendations for their clients. The presenters are comprised of a registered dietitian nutritionist who has written and spoken about cultural sensitivity in nutrition practice as well as a registered dietitian nutritionist and professionally trained chef who incorporates inclusive culinary nutrition foodways. Their combined backgrounds will ensure a riveting discussion on what it takes to break down the barriers when it comes to making sure we honor cultural traditions while providing the latest data to support these findings.
