What's the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
A Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a nationally-recognized, board-certified food and nutrition expert. Registered Dietitians are the only ones allowed to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) which involves analyzing labs, medical history, and biopsychosocial factors to provide an individualized nutrition care plan. The RD credential indicates that the individual has met rigorous academic and professional requirements.
- Obtained a degree in nutrition from an accredited university
- Completed a 1200-hour dietetic internship in a medical facility
- Passed a national exam by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR)
- Maintain continuing education to stay current in the field and retain the RD/RDN credential
In some states, there is a secondary license to practice conferred by the state board of professional accreditation. For Massachusetts, the license designation is a Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (LDN).
Conversely, the term “nutritionist” holds no legal meaning and is not regulated federally or state-wide. Anyone can legally refer to themselves as a nutritionist. Some nutritionists may have formal education and certification, but others might not have any training.
