NRVs and DRIs are appearing in nutrition messages for the public, nutrient databases, practice standards, and the scientific literature. Very soon, application of NRVs will be a needed competency, regardless of your area of practice. Update your knowledge of nutrient requirements through a self-directed on-line course, the first 6 lessons of which have been reviewed and edited to reflect the NRVs by Dr. Katrine Baghurst, Chair, National Health & Medical Research Committee tasked with developing the Nutrient Reference Values.

» Australia and New Zealand Support NRVs

"The NRVs represent a new way of thinking about nutrient recommendations. As such it is critical for dietitians in Australia and New Zealand to be familiar with them, their derivation and interpretation. We must be able to explain these new values to consumers and apply them wisely in our practice. Dietitians of Canada have done a wonderful job of developing these lessons which are self paced and easy to use. The materials have been adapted for our values. As such it is an excellent professional development package."
