Hello All,

 

I hope you are all doing well! I need your input on the 'Mega Issues' being discussed in the October HOD meeting. There are 2 Mega Issues this year. Nutrition Informatics and Nutritional Genomics. Your input is needed! I will start out with Nutrition Informatics. I need to know:

 

 

As the Under 30 crowd, it is likely that we are among the most 'tech saavy' in ADA so it is especially important that our views are represented on this issue. I have attached the ADA Member Fact Sheet on Nutrition Informatics for your review.

 

If you would like more info on this topic, you can review the HOD Backgrounder on Nutrition Informatics. You get 2 free CPE credits for reviewing the Backgrounder and completing the quiz. It is a little long, but it informs you of the latest technology being used in all areas of dietetics. I was especially interested in hearing about Google's personal health platform. The backgrounders and CPE information can be accessed at: www.eatright.org/HODBackgroundersFall2008.

 

Stay Well,

Melissa
