Vision 2020

In 2007 Dietitians of Canada did an environmental scan and conducted extensive consultations, including interviews and meetings with dietitians and key stakeholders across Canada and a web-based survey of practicing dietitians. The purpose of these actions was to gain perspectives and opinions in order to shape and refine statements about a preferred future for the dietetic profession.

In 2020 Canadians view health broadly and are expecting more leadership from dietitians on issues related to their food and nutritional needs and their health. Vision 2020 for Dietitians states that:
  • Dietitians are leaders in promoting health
  • Dietitians have diverse, rewarding and novel roles
  • Dietetics profession is self-directing and self-renewing
  • Dietetics education is accessible, flexible, inclusive and innovative

A shared vision is an important step towards healthier lives and lifestyles for Canadians. To read more on Vision 2020 click here.
