What is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?

A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert who has:
  • Completed a Bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university (some RDNs also have post-graduate degrees)
  • Completed an accredited supervised practice program
  • Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration
  • Completed continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration

Because of the education required to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, RDNs are health professionals who are best equipped to help you meet your food and nutrition goals.
