This resource was created by members of the ODPH Public Health Advisory for Dietetic Education and Training working group to ensure dietetic students are better prepared to understand public health in Ontario, with a special focus on public health nutrition.
This resource includes a complimentary PowerPoint slide deck and provides a comprehensive overview of the public health system; defining public health and an overview of the public health standards; health equity, health promotion, and advocacy; the process of policy and program development in the public health nutrition context; and relevant resources. In addition, case studies relevant to public health practice and aligned with the ICDEP competencies are provided.
These resources were released in June 2023.
