WVAND is Seeking registered dietitians to participate in a new mentoring program!

"Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction" - John C. Cosby

WVAND is in the process of developing a mentoring program for dietetic interns and new West Virginia dietitians. Having a mentor in the early years of a career can be a game-changer and we are excited to provide this opportunity in West Virginia.
