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 the activities with which dietitians and dietetic technicians are actually involved in their work. 1 Role Delineation and Verification for Entry-Level Positions in Community Dietetics.
