Key Facts

For everyone, what you eat is a complex, personal and cultural experience, and when you join the Medical Nutrition profession, you have the fun and challenging task of joining together a person’s relationship with food with their nutritional needs. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are food and nutrition experts who use their knowledge of nutrition science to help improve the lives of individuals and the communities they live in. RDNs assess a patient’s nutrition history, biochemical make-up, and medical tests, and with that information make decisions to help their client progress towards and reach their health goals.

As an RDN, you will blend scientific research, nutrition, behavioral science, and social science to promote health, prevent disease, and shape the nutrition choices of healthy and sick people. Whether you choose to work in a hospital, clinic, research facility public health agency, sports nutrition program, or in food-service management, the opportunity and ability to intervene and change people’s everyday lives for the better is all yours.
