GPEC Leads New, Expanded Professional Development Program Development
ASN's Graduate and Professional Education Committee (GPEC) and its related committees, subcommittees, and task forces are developing a robust professional development program for basic nutrition scientists, physician assistants, dietitians, pharmacists, nurses, international nutrition scientists, and industry-based nutrition professionals who are regular or associate members of ASN. This science-based program, consisting of conferences, meetings, resources and other materials that will be delivered in person or online, will offer the unique, comprehensive scope of programmatic content based on the expertise of the diverse membership of the ASN.
