A registered dietitian is a food and nutrition expert who has met academic and professional requirements including:

• Earned a bachelor’s degree and often a graduate degree with course work approved by ADA’s Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education including, but not limited to: anatomy and physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, fundamentals of nutrition, nutrition through the lifecycle, clinical nutrition assessment and planning, and medical nutrition therapy.
• Completed a one-year dietetic residency  program at an accredited, supervised dietetic residency  program.
• Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
• Completes continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration, which entails a minimum of 75 continuing education credits  every 5 years.

Many registered dietitians hold additional certifications in specialized areas of practice, such as pediatric or renal nutrition, sports nutrition, nutrition support and diabetes nutrition.

Some dietitians use the word “nutritionist” and “dietitian” interchangeably when referring to themselves. The reverse is NOT true – nutritionist cannot be a dietitian. As a matter of fact, anybody can call themselves a nutritionist.

Your health is incredibly important – do your research carefully!
