The Nutrition in Food Retail curriculum was developed by an advisory group of seasoned dietetic internship directors, internship preceptors and food retail RDNs. The curriculum was designed to be implemented in food retail settings, meets requirements set by the Accreditation Council for Education and Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), and prepares graduates for careers in food retail.
The Nutrition in Food Retail curriculum includes 3 rotations and 15 program activities with detailed instructions for implementation, assigned ACEND competencies, suggested reading and training, and a reflection assignment.
