With support from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation, a team of researchers conducted a national survey among nutrition and dietetics professionals who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. In this session, speakers will speak on different aspects of career advancement.
The session addresses systemic challenges and opportunities for career advancement. Findings from a national survey of over 400 nutrition and dietetics professionals reveal barriers to advancement for underrepresented groups in nutrition and dietetics, including compensation inequities and limited access to mentorship.
Key facilitators such as networking, professional development, and inclusive workplace culture will be discussed alongside evidence-based strategies for employers to strengthen recruitment, retention, and advancement. Practical recommendations will guide attendees in fostering environments that support diversity, lifelong learning, and long-term workforce sustainability.
