2013 Gerontology Network Workshop

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2013

The  Dietitians  of  Canada  Gerontology  Network  is  a  

national  network  representing  550+  registered  dietitians  

working  with  the  elderly  in  long  term  care  settings  across  

Canada.  The  Gerontology  Network  acts  as  a  resource  

through  the  provision  of  education  opportunities  and  

evidenced  based  nutrition  information  to  support  

registered  dietitians  as  they  strive  for  excellence  in  the  

provision  of  nutritional  care  of  residents  in  long  term  care.  

 

The  format  of  this  gerontology  workshop  will  have  a  new  look  

and  feel!    We  have  extended  the  length  of  the  day  to  include  an  

additional  speaker  and  a  vendor  showcase.  The  idea  is  to  bring  

awareness  of  products  and  services  to  RDs  who  work  with  the  

aging   population.     On   behalf   of   the  workshop   committee  we  

hope  you  will  tell  your  colleagues  about  this  exciting  workshop!  

Registration  is  limited  to  the  first  150  registrants!
