Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A public health nutritionist specializes in providing nutrition services through organized community efforts. Dietetic technicians, registered (DTRs) require an associate's degree and must pass an exam to become registered, but they work under the supervision of a registered dietitian (RD). An RD is a nutrition professional who has completed a bachelor's degree as well as a supervised practice program, passed a national exam, and completed continuing education. A certified nutritionist is a broad term that does not have a specific definition or licensure, which means that anyone can use this title without meeting specific educational or professional requirements.
