title: Implementation and evaluation of a competency-based dietetic program.
abstract: To assure that graduates of coordinated undergraduate programs have attained required entry-level competencies, dietetic educators need to assess, guide, and account for the progress of students and analyze their own effectiveness. A model has been developed to assist educators in attaining accountability in a competency-based dietetic program. Required competencies and sub-competencies are defined.
