Dietitians and nutritionists are experts in the use of food and nutrition to promote health and manage disease. They advise people on what to eat in order to lead a healthy lifestyle or achieve a specific health-related goal.

Duties
Dietitians and nutritionists typically do the following:
• Assess patients’ and clients’ nutritional and health needs
• Counsel patients on nutrition issues and healthy eating habits
• Develop meal and nutrition plans, taking both clients’ preferences and budgets into account
• Evaluate the effects of meal plans and change the plans as needed
• Promote better health by speaking to groups about diet, nutrition, and the relationship between good eating habits and preventing or managing specific diseases
• Create educational materials about healthy food choices
• Keep up with or contribute to the latest food and nutritional science research
• Document patients’ progress

Dietitians and nutritionists evaluate the health of their clients. Based on their findings, dietitians and nutritionists advise clients on which foods to eat—and which to avoid—to improve their health.
Many dietitians and nutritionists provide customized information for specific individuals. For example, a dietitian or nutritionist might teach a client with diabetes how to plan meals to balance the client’s blood sugar. Others work with groups of people who have similar needs. For example, a dietitian or nutritionist might plan a diet with healthy fat and limited sugar to help clients who are at risk for heart disease. They may work with other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient care.

Dietitians and nutritionists who are self-employed may meet with patients, or they may work as consultants for a variety of organizations. They may need to spend time on marketing and other business-related tasks, such as scheduling appointments, keeping records, and preparing educational programs or informational materials for clients.

Although many dietitians and nutritionists do similar tasks, there are several specialties within the occupations. The following are examples of types of dietitians and nutritionists:

Clinical dietitians and clinical nutritionists provide medical nutrition therapy. They work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, private practice, and other institutions. They create customized nutritional programs based on the health needs of patients or residents and counsel patients on how to improve their health through nutrition. Clinical dietitians and clinical nutritionists may further specialize, such as by working only with patients with specific conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or digestive disorders.

Community dietitians and community nutritionists develop programs and counsel the public on topics related to food, health, and nutrition. They often work with specific groups of people, such as adolescents or the elderly. They work in public health clinics, government and nonprofit agencies, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), and other settings.

Management dietitians plan food programs. They work in food service settings such as cafeterias, hospitals, prisons, and schools. They may be responsible for buying food and for carrying out other business-related tasks, such as budgeting. Management dietitians may oversee kitchen staff or other dietitians.

    Nutriitionist



  17. Chad Miller on October 23, 2021 at 10:37 am

    A few things here: first, the correct spelling is dietitian; the t replaced the c in 1930. Second, nutritionists are not dietitians. Anyone who eats can be a “nutritionist,” but dietitians must attend a credentialed program through ACEND to obtain a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. This requirement will change by 2024, requiring all incoming RDNs to have a graduate degree. Dietitians are a protected title with a specific scope of practice that requires years of schooling and training.



  18. Juwariyah Shaik on October 23, 2021 at 10:38 am

    Dietitians are licensed clinicians who can get 3rd party reimbursement from insurance companies. without that credential nutritionists can’t bill insurance.



  42. Karekar Harshika on October 23, 2021 at 11:04 am

    Thank you so much for the video. It was very helpful. I’ve been always interested in nutrition, but this year I started my bachelor’s degree in international business administration. I’m really afraid to tell my parents that this is what I want to do in life, they have spent so much time, money and effort to get me there.
