What is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (also know as Registered Dietitians) are experts in the field of food and nutrition. RDNs have
- completed the appropriate academic course work in the science of nutrition
- completed a period of supervised practice
- passed a national registration examination
- complete ongoing continuing education
RDN is a regulated credential, available only to those who follow this process. The term “nutritionist” alone is not a regulated credential and does not guarantee that the person using the term is a qualified nutrition professional.
When you’re looking for help connecting the dots between food and health it’s best to look for a registered dietitian nutritionist to help you out.
