What is a registered dietitian?
A registered dietitian (R.D.) is specially trained in nutrition and has a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics.
Registered dietitians also have received special training and passed a national exam administered by the American Dietetic Association.
Registered dietitians are certified in Indiana and complete continuing education each year. As health care professionals, they are trained to help you with your food and nutrition needs.
