title: A conceptual framework for dietetics.
abstract: The model for the practice of dietetics recently adopted by the CDA board of directors clarifies how the different facets of dietetics are interrelated and part of a common definition of dietetics. It is our hope that this discussion will help us to move beyond the question of identity we often feel in our profession and will stimulate debate and the development and testing of alternate models; this should further clarify the essence of dietetic practice and enable us to continue to improve our unique and common contribution towards the provision of quality nutritional care to the population.
