I have 1 more year and an internship to go before I am a Dietitian! Can't wait! In the mean time I need to get through my next Clinical Nutrition Exam...Liver and Kidney Diseases anyone?
So just in case anyone out there has been wondering what I'm actually doing with my life, I stole this explanation from a dietetic interns blog. Couldn't put it any better myself!
Registered Dietitians are the nutrition professionals and experts. They have completed at least a bachelor's degree in nutrition, dietetics, or health accredited by the American Dietetic Association, spent at least 6 months in an internship or residency (also accredited by ADA), and passed a registration exam. Dietitians also have to stay on the cutting edge of food and nutrition by taking continuing education classes. CE classes are required for maintaining registration status.
RDs should be your source for any qualified food and nutrition advice. They have the tools and skillset to interpret food and nutrition information that others ("nutritionists" and the like) don't.
I also want to add that we LOVE food and anything to do with it--including eating it contrary to what others may think...
Can't wait to sign, Kerri Bell R.D.
