A Registered Dietitian (RD) is an expert in dietetics; which is the study of all facets of nutrition and how it affects one’s health and overall well-being. It is dietitian, who meets all of a set of special academic and professional requirements.
The nutrition expert meets the following criteria:
Completion of a specially designed, accredited nutrition curriculum, followed by an extensive supervised program of specialized nutrition practice and finally passing a rigorous board exam.
A dietetics curriculum is composed of more than just menu planning and food science. It also includes clinical nutrition, nutrition through life’s cycle, medical-nutrition therapy, nutritional counseling, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and social sciences. Almost half of RD’s possess a Master’s degree in nutrition, and many have additional certifications in specialized fields such as renal, pediatric, sports, or oncology nutrition.
In order to remain registered, an RD must meet 75 hours of continuing professional education per 5 year period, and must also complete a professional portfolio with approved professional development goals and objectives by the AND.
