| Description: |
The success of dietetics education programs that provide a research focus at promoting research involvement among graduates is unknown. Using a cross-sectional online survey and 3 validated tools, we described research motivation, involvement, and confidence in graduates of a combined dietetic internship/master's program with a research concentration. Of 35 participants, 48.6% reported current/recent involvement in at least one research activity; 25.7% had research in their job description. Participants were similarly involved in research as registered dietitian nutritionists in other studies; involvement was greater in alumni with a research job. Future research should determine what influences alumni to obtain a research job. |
