What is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist? |
All registered dietitians are nutritionists, but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians. So when you're looking for qualified food and nutrition experts, look for the RD or RDN credential.
Registered dietitians and registered dietitian nutritionists must meet stringent academic and professional requirements, including earning at least a bachelor's degree, completing a supervised practice program and passing a registration examination. RDs and RDNs must also complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration. RDs and RDNs translate nutrition science into practical and applicable ways for people to bring nutritious foods into their daily lives. -Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
