Update on Centralized Application
Dietetic Internship Application
• Contracted with Liaison International oRobert Montgomery, Attending DEP Area Meetings
2011
• DICASoDietetic Internship Centralized Application Services
• Experience creating and managing centralized application services for a number of professional programs (dental schools, PA, PT, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, etc.)
• Available for September 2010 application

Timeline for Spring Match 2011
• December 8, 2010 - site opened for February application date
• February 15 - site closed to applicants
• April 6 - after match Clearing House for programs with openings

DICAS Participation
•202 of 228 programs (88%) participating in the 2011 spring match are using the centralized application system.
10
Applications
• Applicants matched to a dietetic internship program files will be deleted (temporarily archived).
• Applicants not matched to a dietetic internship will be saved. oApplicants can update information for future applications to dietetic internships.

Future Plans
•Meeting with Liaison International
•Identification of necessary changes to DICAS prior to fall, 2011 computer match

Use of Simulations in Dietetics Education
13
Role of Simulations in Dietetics Education
14
•Conducted surveys on simulations used in dietetics,
•Definitions of simulations used in dietetics education shared with CADE Programs,
•Development of Dietetics Educator’s Database/Web site, and
•Members attendance at two conferences on simulations.
Simulation SurveyPurpose of Survey• Explored current use of technology in dietetics and
allied health education programs• Investigated the potential of using simulation to
replace some of the face-to-face supervised experiences
15
Outcome: Educators are willing to include simulations as a part of supervised practice.

Dietetic Educator’s Database/Web site
Thank you for participating in designing the proposed Web site for dietetics educators.
The results: We are designing a Database/Web site for educators to use.
Phase one: Case Studies will be requested from educators.
17
Future Plans•Two FNCE Programs:
•Open Discussion: Welcome to the Real World: Case Study Development Partnering Educators and Practitioners
•Presentation: The Use of Simulations to Enhance Supervised Practice
•Database/Web site for Educators: Phase I- Case Studies, and
•Attendance at future simulation conferences18
