Nutrition 101 Test 2Registration eligible - ANS-The term registration eligible is used by the Commission on
Dietetic Registration to identify individuals who have met the didactic and supervised
practice requirements to write the registration examination. The Commission will verify
upon request that an individual has met registration eligibility requirements and the
eligibility date. The Commission has noted with concern an increase in the use of the
term RDE to designate registration eligibility. The "RDE" is not a credential and should
not be used. The term "Registered Dietitian Eligible" is not a professional designation.
This includes the acronym RDE which should not be used. Also, note that the words
should not be spelled out; that is, RD Eligible, Registered Dietitian Eligible, RDN Eligible
or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Eligible. Again, these are not professional
designations and should NOT be used. If needed in describing an individual, only use
the words - registration eligible.
Credentialing - ANS-Professional certification is a process, often voluntary, by which
individuals who have demonstrated the level of knowledge and skill required in the
profession, occupation, role, or skill are identified to the public and other stakeholders.
Nutritionist - ANS-The Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is defined by the
Commission on Dietetic Registration as an individual who has met current minimum
(Baccalaureate degree granted by a U.S. regionally accredited college or university, or
foreign equivalent) academic requirements with successful completion of both specified
didactic education and supervised-practice experiences through programs accredited by
The Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, who has successfully completed the Registration
Examination for Dietitians and remitted the annual registration fee. To maintain the RD
or RDN credential, the RD or RDN must comply with the Professional Development
Portfolio (PDP) recertification requirements (accrue 75 units of approved continuing
professional education every five years).
Competence - ANS-Competence is a principle of professional practice, identifying the
ability of the provider to administer safe and reliable services on a consistent basis.
Development Helix - ANS-The nutrition and dietetics career development guide helix is
the model used in guiding nutrition and dietetics careers. The helix provides a general
framework that individuals or nutrition and dietetics practice groups can use to identify
practice guidance from entry into practice to the expert level.
, Certified Health Coach - ANS-A Certified Health Coach is a professional with a diverse
educational and professional background who motivates individuals and/or groups with
low to high health risks to promote improved health choices. Certified Health Coaches
educate and guide clients to achieve their health goals through lifestyle and behavior
adjustments. A Certified Health Coach may provide expert advice only in the areas
where he/she has nationally-recognized credentials and/or professional designation (eg,
registered dietitian nutritionist, physician, psychologist or other qualified health
professional) and must adhere to their individual scope of practice and code of ethics.
Nutrition and Dietetics Career - ANS-Nutrition and Dietetics reflects the integration of
Nutrition—which encompasses the science of food, nutrients and other substances
contributing to nutrition status and health, with Dietetics— which is the application of
food, nutrition and associated sciences, to optimize health and the delivery of care and
services for individuals and groups.
Certificate Program - ANS-A certificate program is an intensive training program with a
component that assesses the participant. Upon completion of the program, participants
receive a certificate attesting to the attainment of a new knowledge/skill set (e.g.,
Academy/CDR Certificate in Adult Weight Management). Unlike a certification program,
participants do not receive a professional designation or credential (e.g., DTR, RD,
CSP, CSR, CSG, CSSD, CSO, CSOWM)
Certificate programs must:
1. be dietetics-related;
2. have stated learning objectives upon which the course and assessment content is
based;
3. include content expert instruction and interactive discussion (which may occur
face-to-face or by electronic delivery);
4. include a post-course assessment that assesses the participant's attainment of the
program's learning objectives;
5. have all course materials reviewed by a minimum of 3 professionals with
demonstrated expertise in the content area who attest to the number of hours needed to
complete the program; and
6. be sponsored by Academy/CDR or one of their approved institutions.
