See what our members have to say
NEHP offers an environment for interaction with other educators, opportunities for professional growth, and a forum for developing nutrition curricula at all levels: undergraduate, graduate, and continuing nutrition education.
Thanks to NEHP, and a connection made through the practice group, I achieved a long-standing career goal: developing an eating disorders course for dietitians.
