QUESTION: So, what is the difference between “Nutritionist?” and “Dietitian”
ANSWER: Simply put, a lot. A “Nutritionist” is someone giving advice on what to eat, but does not likely have any formal education or accreditations. A “Dietitian” refers to a highly educated, accredited and registered nutrition professional that meets the following criterion:
- Completed a minimum of a bachelor’s degree at a US regionally accredited university or college and course work accredited or approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
- Completed an ACEND-accredited supervised practice program at a health-care facility, community agency, or a foodservice corporation or combined with undergraduate or graduate studies. Typically, a practice program will run six to 12 months in length.
- Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). For more information regarding the examination, refer to CDR’s website at www.cdrnet.org.
- Completes continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration.
- Holds a state License (LD) from – in our case, the Florida Department of Health – to practice nutrition in the State
