•  Periodically  evaluate  outcomes:  compare  performance,  satisfaction,  and
                   critical thinking metrics before/after AI integration.

               •  Encourage student-led innovation: allow students to propose AI-based mini-
                   projects or tools as part of capstone work.
                  By  following  a  phased,  reflective,  and  policy-supported  approach,  dietetics
            programs can harness AI benefits while maintaining educational integrity. In table 3,
            we suggest proposed roadmap for integrative AI use for Dietetics Program.

                  CONCLUSION
                  In  the  dynamic  landscape  of  nutrition  and  health  sciences,  AI  tools  are
            increasingly  becoming  part  of  professional  practice.  For  dietitian  education
            programs, encouraging students to adopt and critically engage with AI tools yields
            multiple practical benefits: personalized learning, time savings, enhanced analytical
            capacity,  and  readiness  for  AI-augmented  professional  environments.   Although
                                                                                                  13
            challenges  exist—accuracy,  overreliance,  bias,  faculty  readiness—they  can  be
            mitigated  via  pedagogical  design,  reflective  scaffolding,  and  institutional  support.
            Ultimately, integrating AI into dietetics education can help cultivate a generation of
            dietitians who are not only nutrition experts but also discerning users (and perhaps
            creators) of AI tools.
