The importance of preparing a healthcare workforce that can meet the needs of changing population demographics, those experiencing health disparities, and promoting systems of equitable and effective healthcare access has long been identified. The Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) has included competencies specific to cultural competence within the educational requirements of dietetic interns. Cultural competency has been identified as a priority in education and training due to changing service population demographics (Handtke al., 2019; Haughton & Stang, 2012) and a lack of diversity among dietetics professionals (White & Beto, 2013). While its importance has been recognized, less than 20% of programs have integrated cultural competence within their curriculum (Knoblock-Hahn, Scharff, & Elliott, 2010). The Future Education Model adopted by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics presents an opportunity to examine how educational and experiential learning prepares a cultural competency dietetics workforce. Educators in the field of dietetics have reported barriers to the incorporation of cultural competence within the curriculum. This research may fill gaps in knowledge associated with self-reported cultural competency ratings of dietetic educational leaders and the incorporation of cultural competence within the required curriculum. Survey respondents expressed high levels of cultural competence while experiencing the same barriers to incorporating cultural competence into the curriculum, as previously published works showed in the work of Knoblock-Hahn et al. (2010) and Harris-Davis & Haughton (2010) as well as new findings such as the need for more diversity among higher education staff and for predeveloped curriculum/modules for teaching cultural competency.
