Registered Dietitian

Registered Dietitian
Duties and Responsibilities: A RD performs many tasks. They educate people about nutrition by conducting and planning programs that teach people about nutrition. They direct medical nutrition therapy and oversee and provide advice to food service operations, along with many more things.
Salary: The annual median for a registered dietitian is $55,240-$56,813
Education: To be a RD you must have completed a bachelors’ degree at an accredited university or approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Also you must have completed an ACEND-accredited supervised program. And finally, passed a national exam administered by a Council on Dietetics Registration.  


Reflection:  I would like to be a registered dietitian because you are able to educate people about nutrition. Now in days there are a lot of children along with adults that are obese and need to hear about nutrition and a better way to stay health. Many diseases such as diabetes can occur if you are obese. With this job I could educate people about a healthier choice.
