Nutrition and dietetics professionals encounter various barriers to both entry and advancement within the profession, including a lack of support from peers and leadership. These barriers can be amplified for members of underrepresented groups as they navigate often ambiguous benchmarks without diverse representation.

Mentorship is an important way to support these professionals by building professional networks and empowering them to hone the skills they need to be successful. This session will discuss two mentorship programs for different nutrition research and dietetics audiences. Each program will discuss the main components, any evaluation results, and next steps for program implementation and scale-up.
