Leadership in 2010 and Beyond
April 10 – April 13, 2010
Parc 55 Hotel Union Square
55 Cyril Magnin Street
San Francisco, CA 94102

The Clinical Nutrition Management DPG is requesting proposals for our 2010
Symposium in San Francisco, CA!  We are looking for great speakers with
informative topics to help educate our clinical leaders across the country.

As Clinical Nutrition Managers, it is our responsibility to drive innovation
and create ground-breaking programs that will take our profession to the
next level.  With dietetics being such a dynamic industry, it is up to us to
create such programs and share best practices with other managers to help
our practice group as a whole.  Then, as leaders, we must mentor and educate
our employees on these innovative practices and programs as well as help
them develop and gain confidence to have the desire to become our next
leaders.

This symposium will be the key to innovation and sharing of best practices,
new research, and dynamic programs that will help us achieve the above
goals.

Proposals are invited that will provide scientific knowledge, frameworks,
programs, process, or strategies that will help dietetics professionals and
leaders take our dynamic profession to the next level.

Examples of topics to consider include:

• Developing nutrition programs that support national healthcare initiatives
  and new regulatory requirements
• Utilizing instruments and tools, such as informatics, dash boards and the
  nutrition care process to demonstrate positive nutrition outcomes.
•  IOM’s 6 Aims
• Using evidence-based nutrition processes
• Developing advanced practice programs
• Order-writing privileges – New regulations
• Innovative leadership topics
• Professional development programs for staff
• Innovative evaluation programs
• Innovative competency assessment programs, including cultural competency
• Reimbursement
• How to conduct clinical research
• Productivity optimization
• Benchmarking
• Developing a Career Ladder
• Succession Planning
• Workload statistics
• Programs to determine staffing ratios
• Justifying the development of a Nutrition Support Team
• How to write and publish articles
• Best practices from CNM members
• Proposals will be reviewed by the CNM DPG Professional Development Team.

They will be evaluated for their application to the symposium objectives,
advanced level of content, and cutting edge information that has not been
previously presented.  Consideration will be given to achieving a balance
among CNM Symposium topics.

Submission Deadline: August 19, 2009
