How do you keep up with the latest food and nutritional science research and trends?

"There are many ways to stay current with food and nutritional trends. Each year, I typically attend one or two conferences on related topics, and I find that it's also a great way to network and meet other like-minded professionals. I subscribe to a few publications and newsletters and am a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA)."

As a professional in food and nutrition, patients and other staff will look to you as the expert. Staying current and informed of trends and changes in the industry helps build your credibility and instils confidence in patients that work with you. The interviewer wants to know that you're interested in continuing your education in this area and would like specific examples of how you learn about new trends or research.
