Diversity sensitivity and cultural competence must become fundamental components of university curricula. A multi-dimensional nutrition education model was developed for a train-the-trainer program that included training dietetic students who would then train paraprofessionals instrumental in providing education and care for individuals in a community. This model effectively integrated diversity sensitivity, cultural competence, and nutrition competencies for the dietetics students. Eight culturally specific modules on basic nutrition, food sanitation and safety, and prevention, identification and management of prevalent non-communicable chronic diseases were developed during Spring semester 2009. A nutrition education workshop was held for twenty Community Health Aides in the Commonwealth of Dominica during summer (July) 2009. The dietetic students presented the modules and conducted evaluations of the model. Workshop participants rated the modules favorably. Dietary workshops for Community Health Aides can be extremely useful tools for developing a larger base of knowledge, increasing health awareness, and strengthening education and outreach. Likewise, this service learning model exposes students to skills related to grant writing, research, curriculum development, and teaching. This program encouraged students to apply innovative, critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in a dynamic, global profession. Utilizing this educational model will prepare students to be leaders in an increasingly challenging environment.
