SCAND Mentorship Program

What is the SCAND Mentorship Program?

This program is a 6-month commitment created to improve education, connection and collaboration between RDNs/NDTRs across South Carolina. It is a great opportunity to network with a fellow colleague that you may not have otherwise met and learn from each other.

Mentorship is a powerful tool for professional development, both for the mentor and the mentee. It contributes to the growth of our field and ensures the continued advancement of dietetics as a respected and dynamic profession.
