What Does The P.H.Ec Designation Mean To You?

6/20/2018

0 Comments

 
​As graduation season is upon us, we wanted to inspire new graduates to pursue their Professional Home Economist (P.H.Ec) designation. A few weeks ago we asked our members what the P.H.Ec designation meant to them. These are some of their responses:
Picture
Dr. June Matthews, PhD, RD, P.H.Ec.

I value both of my professional designations – Professional Home Economist (P.H.Ec.) and Registered Dietitian (RD) – and proudly include them on my name badge, business cards, CV, and faculty webpage. I also display my certificates of registration in a prominent location in my office.

​I introduce myself to every new class by explaining my credentials and how I achieved them. Sadly, students are not aware of the P.H.Ec. designation, but once they learn about the benefits and opportunities associated with membership in 
OHEA (which is a professional association and a regulatory body under the laws of Ontario), they are eager to pursue this credential.

​Congratulations on completing your degree! You have put countless hours and effort into your education. Regardless if you are completing further education, entering into the work force or taking time for yourself before deciding your next steps, you’ve completed a significant milestone. Through my discussions with other students I found individuals are looking forward to pursuing their designation. However, many new graduates find themselves unaware of the process required to apply to become a Professional Home Economist (PHEc). In this post, I will list the steps you will need to complete to pursue the PHEC designation.

Brittaney Berendsen, Student

Hello, my name is Brittaney! This spring I graduated with my undergraduate degree HBScFN from Brescia University College at Western University in London ON. I have since started my Dietetic Internship at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener ON this fall. 
I have always felt close to the Home Economics field as cooking/ baking with my mother and grandmother is what initially sparked my interest in food and nutrition (I was probably stirring cake batter before I could walk haha).  Looking forward to interacting with all of you!

Andrea Lopez, Student

I am a 4th year student at Brescia University College in the Specialization in Nutrition and Family Studies program. I am the current Vice President of Family Studies on Brescia’s Students’ Human Ecology Association, and am interested in pursuing a career in education.

Jessica Wiles, Student

I am in the third year of my undergraduate degree at Brescia University College in London Ontario in the Foods and Nutrition Program. 
I've done lots of volunteer work with various organizations, including teaching elementary school lessons about nutrition and healthy eating and assisting with children’s gardens and group cooking classes in the community. I really enjoy cooking and trying new recipes in my spare time.

​In addition, I love to sing and have been a member of the Amabile Choirs of London Canada for 13 years, and have traveled to compete in Newfoundland, Hawaii, Greece, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Austria with the Choir.


I am really enjoying the Foods and Nutrition Program at Brescia, and my goal for the future is to acquire an internship and pursue the Registered Dietitian designation as well as the Professional Home Economist designation.

Regardless if I become an RD or not, I plan to work within the food service sector because food is my passion! I am excited to join OHEA to meet other members who may share the same passion as me and hope to collaborate on exciting programs/initiatives one day!
