‘Our training didn't prepare us for private practice’: A multi‐method study of dietetics graduates' preparedness for private practice employment
It is an educational priority to prepare graduates for available employment opportunities by providing learning experiences that traverse the dietetics landscape of practice. Co-designing placements with private practice business owners may support authentic experiences of appropriate durations, with ample opportunities for students to build skills to enhance preparedness for this growing employment setting.
