A registered dietitian (RD) is a food and nutrition expert, translating the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living. Registered dietitians have a degree in nutrition from well-respected, accredited colleges and universities. RDs must also complete a supervised examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration and earn professional education credits to maintain registration. All visits with a registered dietitian require an appointment and physician referral.
