A dietitian or dietician (dietitian is the preferred spelling within the dietetics profession) is an expert in food and nutrition. Dietitians help promote good health through proper eating. They supervise the preparation and service of food, develop modified diets, participate in research, and educate individuals and groups on good nutritional habits. In a medical setting, a dietitian may provide specific artificial nutritional needs to patients unable to consume food normally. Dietary modification to address medical issues involving dietary intake is also a major part of dietetics. The goals of the dietary department are to provide medical nutritional intervention, obtain, prepare, and serve flavorsome, attractive, and nutritious food to patients, family members, and health care providers. In many countries only people who have specified educational credentials can call themselves "dietitians" — the title is legally protected. The term "nutritionist" is also widely used; however, the term nutritionist is not regulated as dietitian is and is not an accurate term to give to a dietitian. People may call themselves nutritionists without the educational and professional requirements of registered dietitians. A nutritionist is not a dietitian, as a dietitian is registered to a national board and accredited and a nutritionist is neither. Different professional terms are used in different countries. Dietitians are valuable members of the medical multi-disciplinary team providing nutritional knowledge and acting as consultants to other health care professionals. From Wikipedia under the

A dietitian would be a great addition to a culinary arts school because nowadays, the world is consuming more and more food and ways of curbing unhealthy consumption is needed. With a dietition, a culinary college could offer courses specifically designed to teach students about healthy cooking and healthier ingredients in comparison to unhealthy ones. There is a huge demand for healthier eating/living and that would benefit restaurants to have students who learn to cook/prepare healthy.

Q. I'm a registered nurse and I want to specialize on diets so I can put up my own diet clinic, offer consultations, sell diet products, and so on. I was just wondering if this is possible for a nurse to have a license as a dietitian at the same time. If this is possible, do I still need to pursue further formal studies to acquire a license? thanks. Asked by Robby - Sun Apr 26 02:19:40 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'd check into the requirements in your state. Being an RN is not going to qualify you, in and of itself.
