Dietetics

Eat your veggies! Registered Dietitians are specifically licensed to plan, supervise, and prepare food that keeps people healthy.

Dietitians can plan medical nutrition programs to help treat or manage diseases like diabetes, hypertension (high-blood pressure), or diseases of the digestive tract.

Additionally, dietitians can conduct research in community health and plan menus for schools, universities, and hospitals. Registered Dieticians are certified and licensed professionals.

Dietetic technicians help ensure patients receive the nutrition they need by screening patients for nutrition risk, reviewing medical and family data, and educate patients on proper nutrition.

They also help prepare food and plan menus under the supervision of registered dieticians.
