In this issue, we delve into a diverse range of topics that impact the dietetics profession. As education requirements evolve, one article evaluates a graduate program using competency-based education, shedding light on both facilitators and barriers. Another article addresses the competency management challenges faced by directors of dietetics programs and internships. Articles also explore insights into student perceptions on
experiential learning and an undergraduate peer mentoring program. This edition also emphasizes the crucial role of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) in advocating for federal nutrition and professional practice policies while offering a glimpse into how programs are meeting the standards of the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) and addressing policy-related educational activities. Looking ahead, our upcoming issue will be dedicated to the theme ÒInterprofessional EducationÓ; submissions are now being accepted for this special edition.
