They translate the science of nutrition into terms everyone can understand to support healthy living for all Canadians. To use the title Registered Dietitian (RD), dietitians must be registered with the dietetic regulatory body in the province in which they practice. Dietitians undergo comprehensive and rigorous training, both on the job and in university.
