Clinical Nutrition Management DPG
Welcome to our Web!
WELCOME to the Clinical Nutrition Management (CNM) Dietetic Practice Group (DPG#44) Website.
The CNM DPG is a dynamic group of leaders who strive to improve the quality of nutrition care in the health industry. We pride ourselves in offering guidance and sharing resources with one another.
CNM members work in a variety of settings including acute care, community services, long-term care, private practice, and government services among others. It is this varied background that enables our members to offer many perspectives and resources. We are at an exciting juncture for our group. We have plans to develop and expand our member benefits in the coming year. So, it’s a rewarding time to be a CNM member.
If you are a current CNM member, utilize the member benefits to their full capacity. Some of our member benefits are listed below.
