What is a Registered Dietitian (RD) and what are your areas of specialization?

Nutrition in Action is staffed only by Registered Dietitians (RD). We specialize in nutrition coaching for athletes, artists, eating disorders, child & adolescent and wellness.

A registered dietitian (RD) is a food and nutrition expert who has met academic and professional requirements to practice professionally.

  • Earned a Bachelors Degree,

  • A minimum of 4 years of course work approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics on Accreditation for Dietetics Education. Coursework typically includes food and nutrition sciences, food service systems management, business, economics, computer science, psychology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and organic and inorganic chemistry,

  • Must have passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration,

  • Completed an accredited, supervised, experiential practice program at a health-care facility, community agency or food service corporation,

  • Complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration,

  • A Masters Degree in Science (MS) is the currently professional standard.

A RD can hold additional certifications in specialized areas of practice, such as pediatric or renal nutrition or diabetes education. About half of all registered dietitians work in clinical settings, private practice, or health-care facilities . Many work in community and public health settings, academia and research, business, journalism, sports nutrition, and wellness programs.

It should be noted that some people call themselves a nutritionist or, in some states, a certified nutritionist (CN). This does not guarantee that this person has met academic and professional requirements to practice as a Registered Dietitian
