    Academic performance, specifically entering GPAs, predicted dietetics students' success on the registration examination and in didactic coursework. Clinical performance and interviews showed minimal predictive value for future success.

    Area of Science:

    • Dietetics Education
    • Health Professions Education
    • Academic Performance Prediction

    Background:

    • The Coordinated Undergraduate Program (CUP) in dietetics trains future registered dietitians.
    • Effective selection criteria are crucial for identifying students likely to succeed in dietetics programs and professional practice.
    • Understanding the relationship between academic metrics and performance is vital for program improvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between selection criteria and student performance in a dietetics undergraduate program.
    • To determine if academic records and interview scores predict success on the registration examination for dietitians.
    • To identify which selection factors are most indicative of program and examination success.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of academic records (GPAs, course grades) and interview scores for 46 dietetics graduates.
    • Correlation of selection criteria with performance in didactic and clinical coursework.
    • Correlation of selection criteria with scores on the registration examination for dietitians.

    Main Results:

    • Entering GPAs significantly correlated with registration examination performance and didactic course grades.
    • Entering GPAs did not significantly correlate with clinical performance within the program.
    • Clinical course grades showed limited association with registration examination performance.
    • Interview scores demonstrated minimal predictive relationship with either program performance or examination success.

    Conclusions:

    • Pre-program academic achievement, particularly in science and overall GPA, is a key predictor of success for dietetics students.
    • Clinical performance and interview results appear to be less reliable indicators of success in dietetics education and examination.
    • Program admissions could benefit from emphasizing strong foundational academic performance.
