Evidence to Practice for Dietitians

Fraser Health's Evidence to Practice for Dietitians is a conference on bringing dietitians together to share and generate new ideas. Evidence to Practice for Dietitians is the first conference that brings together dietitians from Fraser Health and across the country to share and discuss how to provide quality and evidence-based nutrition care. This one-day event is a great opportunity to learn new skills and strategies, discuss opportunities and challenges, and network with others dietitians interested in high quality care. The goals of the Evidence to Practice for Dietitians conference are to: • ignite action and learning about emerging areas of dietitian practice; • share and generate new ideas of how to incorporate evidence into dietitian practice; and • create and strengthen relationships and collaboration between dietitians.
