Entry-Level Dietetics Practice Today: Results from the 2015 Commission on Dietetic Registration Entry-Level Dietetics Practice Audit

Abstract

With responsibilities in the areas of credentialing, education, and practice standards, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have need of current, comprehensive information on dietetics practice. One response to this has been to periodically conduct empirical practice analyses to profile what registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and nutrition and dietetics technicians, registered (NDTRs) actually do in practice. 1 Role Delineation and Verification for Entry-Level Positions in Community Dietetics.
