This study revealed notable variations in the ED-specific content of accredited dietetic programs in Australia and New Zealand. Student dietitians are provided with the training and skills to meet the Dietitians Australia National Competency Standards [3] or New Zealand Dietitians Board Professional Standards and Competencies [4], which do not specify explicit standards for individual clinical areas such as EDs. The need for further ED-specific training and clinical supervision was voiced by course convenors and lecturers, however, little description of what this entails was offered. Many participants in this study felt that student dietitians and emerging dietitians are unlikely to work in this clinical area after graduation, despite workforce data suggesting that dietitians are more likely to encounter patients with an undiagnosed ED within any clinical setting, notably to seek treatment for their symptom management, even in the absence of a formalised ED diagnosis [32, 40, 41].
