A random sample of clinical, administrative, and general hospital dietetic practitioners identified competencies expected of the entry level generalist dietitian. Cagguila's competencies were used as the basis for the research. The competencies are listed either as essential for entry level practice, desirable but not essential, or beyond expectation for entry level positions. The practitioners believed that entry level dietitians needed less supervision in those competency areas judged most essential for the new graduate. A glossary is included.
