The 2011 ADA Ethics Opinion: Eliminating Dietetics Related Inequalities defined the term as including diet-related disparities addressing food intake and nutrition-care disparities in dietary services. The authors stated that RDNs and NDTRs have an ethical responsibility to create social, evidence based and pragmatic solutions to eliminate dietetics-related inequalities.

The very first action recommended to eliminate health disparities within a dietetic context was to recruit and retain diverse students and practitioners. In five qualitative studies African American interns or practitioners were asked their perception of what factors have contributed to the lack of diversity in the field of Dietetics.

These barriers can be grouped into three areas; access to the RDN education process, finances and lack of diversity in the field, leaving students, educators and practitioners isolated. Historically, the HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) have served as a pipeline to developing Black dietitians and leaders in the profession. NOBIDAN (National Organization of Blacks in Dietetics and Nutrition) one of the largest MIGs in the Academy, has served to create a community for Black dietitians and their allies within the Academy.

This session will explore strengthening a collaboration between HBCUs and the Academy to support this valuable pipeline.
