SCAND 2023 ANNUAL MEETING

March 30-31, 2023
Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC
630 Assembly Street
Columbia, SC 29201
As usual, we will have a variety of nutrition topics to meet the diverse educational needs of nutrition professionals across the state. Given the value of bringing inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) to our profession, this year we are asking our speakers to share how dietetic practitioners can incorporate IDEA into their topic.

SCAND has expanded the Annual Meeting this year to include more time to network.  Details will be posted in the coming weeks so check back often.
