| | Dietitian |
 | | The term “registered dietitian” is a legally protected title and may be used only by those who have completed an accredited baccalaureate program, clinical experience, and national exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). |
 | | Some registered dietitians call themselves “nutritionists,” but the definition of this term is variable and it is influenced by licensure laws that differ from state to state. |
 | | Registered dietitians are employed by hospitals, government agencies, public schools, day care centers, nursing homes, pharmaceutical companies, food service companies, health maintenance organizations, health clubs, the food industry, research laboratories, public health clinics, correctional facilities, and private practice. |
