REGISTRATION
Why NFPDC Registration Matters?
OBJECTIVES
- NFPDC registration is part of the Dietitian Nutritionists Empowerment Project, based on inclusion, acceptance of diversity, and professional integrity.
- It responds to the developments in nutrition and the upgrading of international standards for nutrition professionals.
- It aims to raise the standards of dietetics education and practice in Pakistan.
JUSTIFICATION
- Variation in nutrition-focused degree programs offered by different institutions makes the task increasingly challenging.
- This variation can lead to inefficient recruitment, frustration among more befitting graduates, and reduced respect and advocacy for the profession.
- Accreditation of degree programs and licensing of Human Nutrition Professionals (HNPs) by public stakeholders is an ideal solution; meanwhile, other agencies successfully monitor dietetics education and practice in many countries.
