Local Agency Nutritionist Professional Development Tool

This tool is based on a self-assessment process designed to help nutritionists identify their own training needs. Ultimately, completing the tool will promote professional development by helping nutritionists to expand knowledge and skills in public health nutrition, to explore new areas of interest, and to advance their careers based on personal goals. The tool is completed independently, although a supervisor or experienced coworker may be ideal mentors during the process of identifying goals and training needs. The following four modules make up the tool:

  1. Module 1 is a self-reflection exercise that assists in articulating professional and personal goals that may impact career development.
  2. Module 2 is an interactive self-assessment that helps determine specific areas of strength and weakness in public health nutrition practice.
  3. Module 3 involves the creation of a Learning Development Plan based on self-reflection and self-assessment results.
  4. Module 4 has links to continuing education resources that can be used toward career development, including trainings listed on this webpage.
