  In 1995, the ADA’s Public Health/Community Nutrition Practice Group responded to demand for guidance on training experiences from those working in public health nutrition. Guidelines for Community Nutrition Supervised Experiences was offered as the first comprehensive curriculum for enhancing the capacity of public health nutrition personnel to respond to the broad range of responsibilities demanded from this field.

The purpose of Guidelines for Community Nutrition Supervised Experiences 2nd Edition is to update the guidelines in consideration of the changes in public health nutrition over the past decade. This purpose maintains the original intent, which was to provide guidelines for supervised experiences for community nutrition personnel in community nutrition programs that promote the health and well being of individuals, families, and communities. These guidelines are the essential starting point for personnel working in community nutrition programs who seek to enhance their level of practice, be they nutritionists, nommunity nutrition educators, or clinical nutritionists and whether or not they are a Registered Dietitian or Dietetic Technician Registered.

Guidelines for Community Nutrition Supervised Experiences is intended to help community nutrition personnel not only enhance their current practice for client-focused personal nutrition services, but also transition to a practice that will be more population/systems focused.
