Registered Dietitian
A Registered Dietitian has a four-year bachelor’s degree, a supervised practice internship and has passed a national exam to earn the “R.D.” credential. The credential is maintained with required continuing education. Some states also license dietitians to practice. A Sports Nutritionist is often a Registered Dietitian with experience working with nutrition for sport and exercise, but be sure to ask about credentials and experience. Many Registered Dietitians with this expertise are members of the Sports, Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutritionist (SCAN) practice group of the American Dietetic Association.
