Thursday 4/26

Thursday we were supposed to meet Karen Dion from the Ohio Board of Dietetics, but unfortunately she didn't show, so Dr. Holben showed us around the website and gave us an idea of what it's all about.  The main purpose of the Ohio Board of Dietetics is to protect the people.  The board is mainly funded through licensure fees.  The executive director must be an RD, as well as the 5 board members.  I thought it was weird that even if two board members meet for something it is considered to be a board meeting, but I see how it would be suspicious for two members being too close and making decisions that impact our field.  I think it is a good thing that the field of dietetics in Ohio is strict, it protects the practice and prevents the public from being misinformed.  It was a shame that Karen Dion couldn't make it, but after viewing the website for the Ohio Board of Dietetics it is clearly a good resource to go to when wondering about what is going with the law and board meetings in our state.
