Welcome to WADE, The Washington Association of Diabetes Educators
Hello all WADE members; specifically RD's - You may have received an email from WSAND last Friday stating that they are going to meet with the Department of Health tomorrow and Friday. They included a link to respond to input. We would like to make sure we take this opportunity and stress how important that input will be for our practices.
We are asking that you click on the link (below) and provide input (suggested statement below) and also send this out to ALL WA State RD's you know whether or not you think they are on this email list. It's ok to get it twice! This is incredibly important to all of us!
URGENT: Input needed by you TODAY—Diabetes, Renal, Oncology and Nutrition Support Dietitians and others who may be affected by the outcome of this meeting!
RE: The Washington State Department of Health does not recognize Registered Dietitians current practice in our state which includes our role in nutrition related medication adjustments or device instruction using institutional approved protocols.
Please respond TODAY to the WSAND request for comments via Survey Monkey regarding the upcoming meeting tomorrow June 27 and 28, 2019 about Certified Dietitian rules.
