ForwardWebinar: When You're the Clinician and the Dietitian: Making an Impact on Both Sides of the Stethoscope
What happens when you’ve stood on both sides of the stethoscope? As a practicing Physician Associate and Registered Dietitian, Colleen Sloan, PA-C, RDN, has seen firsthand how health and nutrition advice is delivered—and where it often breaks down. From the kitchen to the clinic, care team members often play numerous roles. So how can each one of them successfully navigate the various professions they may represent while also strengthening the impact they have on patients and caregivers?
Join Colleen on Wednesday, June 10, from 2-3 p.m. ET, as she explores the time pressures, communication gaps, and systemic hurdles that shape patient care—and uncover how each care team member can better position themselves as essential collaborators.
Whether you’re in private practice, working in a clinical setting, or just starting out, leave this webinar with a behind-the-scenes look at how to elevate your impact, speak the language of medicine, and lead with both confidence and compassion.
Learning Objectives
After completing this continuing education activity, health care professionals will better be able to:
- Compare how nutrition advice is delivered, interpreted, and implemented from both the physician and dietitian perspective.
- Describe common barriers to collaboration between medical providers and nutrition professionals.
- Identify strategies to communicate nutrition recommendations clearly and consistently across the healthcare team within fast-paced clinical environments.
- Collaborate with physicians, dietitians, and other members of the care team to integrate nutrition guidance into clinical workflows, improving coordination of care and patient outcomes.
