Registered Dietetics Professionals: Proven Expertise and Excellence

When you choose a registered dietetics professional to help with your nutrition or food preparation and service needs, you are connecting with an individual with demonstrated professional expertise and excellence.


Dietetics professionals undergo rigorous academic training and extensive practice experience and maintain their state-of-the-art food and nutrition knowledge by completing ongoing professional education programs.


Registered Dietitians (RDs) have completed academic and experience requirements established by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, The American Dietetic Association’s credentialing agency, including a minimum of a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and an accredited pre-professional experience program. Some RDs hold additional certifications in specialized areas of practice.


RDs demonstrate thorough knowledge of their field by passing a national exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. They are required to stay on the cutting edge of their field by regularly completing continuing professional education to maintain registration.
