“All registered dietitians are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians.”
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a professional that has earned a bachelor’s degree approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. An RDN must complete an accredited, supervised practicum at a healthcare facility, community agency, or foodservice corporation. After earning a bachelor’s degree and completing their practicum, to earn the RDN title, a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration must be passed. Additionally, ongoing education is mandatory to maintain this title.
As of 2024, anyone who wants to be an RDN must have a master’s degree in an approved field (like food and nutrition sciences, foodservice systems management, business, economics, computer science, sociology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology and chemistry).
Registered Dietitians not only play an important role in helping people achieve their optimal health through nutrition, they also are key players in terms of public health, shaping families’ and communities’ food choices.
On the other hand, anybody can call themselves a “nutritionist” — whether they’ve completed an online course or attended a weekend conference. Nutritionists, who do not go through the rigorous coursework and requirements to achieve an RDN, are often free from government regulation. Though well-intentioned, many nutritionists might fall into fads and pop culture tendencies, quick-fixes which don’t create sustainable, meaningful lifestyle changes.
When looking for the right nutrition therapy for your needs — medical and health — make sure you ask for credentials. We look forward to working with you.
