What is a
Registered Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian is a qualified nutrition
professional that has completed a bachelor's degree in human nutrition at
an accredited college/university and a pre-professional experience
program. These requirements are established by the Commission on
Dietetic Registration, the credentialing agency for the American Dietetic
Association. RD's demonstrate their knowledge of food and nutrition
by successfully passing a national credentialing exam and by competing
ongoing continuing professional development.
