It is the mission of Stony Brook University's Professional Nutrition Practice Graduate Program to prepare graduates for practice as registered dietitian nutritionists to promote health and wellness among patients and communities through evidence-based culturally-competent nutrition programs and services.
|
Goal 1:
|
|
| The program will prepare graduates who are culturally competent and develop inclusive nutrition programs and services. |
| Objectives: |
|
| |
- At least 80% of program graduates complete program/degree requirements within 2 years (150% of the program length)
- Of graduates who seek employment, 80% are employed in nutrition and dietetics or related fields within 12 months of graduation.
- Registration Exam:
- Eight percent of program graduates take the CDR credentialing exam for dietitian nutritionists within 12 months of program completion.
- The program's one-year pass rate (graduates who pass the registration exam within one year of first attempt) on the CDR credentialing exam for dietitian nutritionists is at least 80%.
- Upon completion of the program, 80% of survey respondents will evaluate their cultural competence as greater or equal to 3 (on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest score).

Goal 2:
|
| The program will prepare graduates to critically evaluate the evidence supporting various nutrition interventions when determining the most appropriate nutrition plan for individuals or communities. |
| Objectives: |
|
| |
- Eighty percent of employers of one-year alumni, who respond to the program survey, will assess alumni's ability to evaluate the evidence supporting various nutrition interventions when determining the most appropriate nutrition plan for individuals and communities at a 3 or greater (on a scale of 1-5, with 5 indicating the highest level of preparedness).
- Upon completion of the program, 80% of students will assess their ability to evaluate the evidence supporting various nutrition interventions when determining the most appropriate nutrition plan for individuals or communities at a 3 or greater (on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest score).
- Seventy percent of one-year alumni completing a program survey will assess their confidence to critically evaluate the evidence supporting various nutrition interventions in the promotion of the profession (e.g. journal clubs, mentoring students, precepting and poster sessions) at a 3 or greater (on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest score).
