What is a Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian is
the food and nutrition
expert, trained to provide
credible nutrition information to the public.
The terms Dietitian and
Nutritionist are legally enforceable in the state of
Florida. Registered
Dietitians are required to earn a four year college degree in nutrition or a
related field which is approved by the American Dietetic Association,
complete 900 hours of supervised practice in nutrition and dietetics,
and
pass an exam administered by the Commission of Dietetic
Registration to
earn the title: Registered Dietitian (RD). RD's are responsible for staying
current on food and nutrition issues through continuing education. To find a
local Registered Dietitian, please

There is a new member stipend offering from the FDA
for a $100 membership stipend that is available to any
RD that has been newly credentialed
within the last 5 years.
