Nutrition Excellence

Clinical Nutrition Services values the role of ongoing research, teaching, and collaborative work experiences in the enhancement of professional competency and patient care. We support, develop, and promote continuing education opportunities and aim to grant all staff equal access to various learning activities, such as workshops and education programs. In addition, we encourage Providence dietitians to take an active and visible role in community forums, professional development projects, media relations, conference presentations, and staff education initiatives.

As Providence is a major teaching centre, the Clinical Dietitians have the opportunity to expand their proficiency as skilled preceptors, mentors, and educators. The Providence Health Care Dietetic Internship Program is designated as one of the core practicum sites for the University of British Columbia's Integrated Dietetics Program. Clinical Nutrition Services accepts five dietetic interns each year to participate in 39 weeks of full-time training from September to June. Additionally, Providence dietitians who hold expertise in a specialty area frequently provide consultation and specialized training to multidisciplinary colleagues and other dietitians working in smaller centers throughout the province.

Clinical Nutrition Services is well known for its resourceful, passionate, and creative approach in the promotion of healthy eating throughout Providence and the community it serves. If you are interested in joining our team, please visit the Careers section of our website.
