Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a bachelor's degree diploma from an accredited university and a certificate of completion of a dietetic internship indicates that this person is a registered dietitian, who has completed the requirements for licensure and has the necessary credentials to provide expert nutrition advice. Dietetic technicians may have a similar degree, but they do not complete the internship and are not licensed. Nutritionists and nutrition consultants may not have a specific degree or license, while physicians may have expertise in many areas but not necessarily specialize in nutrition alone.
