Duties and Responsibilities: A registered dietitian is a food and nutrition expert who has met the minimum academic and professional requirements to qualify for the credential "RD." In addition to RD credentialing, many states have regulatory laws for dietitians and nutrition practitioners. State requirements frequently are met through the same education and training required to become an RD.
Salary:$42,000- $86,000
Education: Earned a bachelor's degree with course work approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. Coursework typically includes food and nutrition sciences, foodservice systems management, business, economics, computer science, sociology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology and chemistry. Completed an accredited, supervised practice program at a health-care facility, community agency or foodservice corporation. Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. Completes continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration.
Reflection: Being a dietitian might not only help other but it can also help me. Like how if you want to live for a long time the proper way to maintain yourself healthy is having a good diet and exercising. This career is about learning what is good for you to eat and to stay healthy and thats something I would be interested in learning. It doesn't seem like a stressful job where I wouldn't want to come into work. It seems interesting because everyday I would deal with patients that have different diets.
