Big things are coming to the PEN System 👀

Since 2005, PEN has helped dietitians cut through the noise and access trusted, evidence-based nutrition guidance. Now, it’s getting a refresh.

The new experience is currently in a trial phase, with some members invited to test it out and share feedback.

Starting in July, all Dietitians of Canada members will gain access upon renewal, another reminder that the PEN System remains one of the most valuable benefits of DC membership.

Stay tuned all April as we spotlight what’s ahead!

How can dietitians incorporate cultural humility into their practice?
It’s Nutrition Month 🎉 and we’re highlighting key topics in the PEN System that support equitable, evidence-informed dietetic practice.

This Practice Question explores frameworks and strategies such as engaging in self-reflection to identify personal biases, addressing knowledge gaps through education, building trust with clients and integrating culturally appropriate content into healthcare recommendations.

It also discusses culturally adapted interventions, reorienting power dynamics, offering services in a client’s first language and creating safe clinical spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals.

Culturally and linguistically diverse patients may face barriers to care, including discrimination and limited access to culturally competent services.
