A dietitian (sometimes spelled dietician)
is an expert in food and
nutrition. Dietitians help promote good health through proper eating.
They also supervise the preparation and service of food, develop modified
diets, participate in research, and educate individuals and groups on good
nutritional habits. The goals of the dietary department are to obtain,
prepare, and serve flavorsome, attractive, and nutritious food to
patients, family members, and health care providers.
In the US nutrition professionals include the registered dietitian (RD)
and the dietetic technician, registered (DTR). These terms, as well as
simply dietitian, are legally protected terms regulated by the American
Dietetic Association (ADA). Some RDs or DTRs call themselves
nutritionists.

However, the term nutritionist is not
regulated, as dietitian is. Persons may call themselves nutritionists
without the educational and professional requirements of registered
dietitians. Dietetic technicians are not the same as dietitians in
terms of responsibilities and qualifications. Different professional
terms are used in other countries.
In the U.S., dietitians are registered with the Commission on Dietetic
Registration (the certifying agency of the ADA) and are only able to
use the label "Registered Dietitian" when they have met strict,
specific educational and professional prerequisites and passed a
national registration examination.
The majority of dietitians are clinical, or therapeutic, dietitians.
Clinical dietitians review medical charts and talk with patients'
families. They work with other health care professionals and community
groups to provide nourishment, nutritional programs and instructional
presentations to benefit people of all ages, and with a variety of
health conditions. This is accomplished by developing individual plans
to meet nutritional needs. These plans include nourishment, tube
feedings (called enteral nutrition), intravenous feedings (called
parenteral nutrition) such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or
peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN), diets, and education. Clinical
dietitians provide individual and group educational programs for
patients and family members about their nutrition and health. |
