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!
