I teach several nutrition and public health classes and not a day passes when a student (or their parent) doesn't inquire about the steps that are needed to become a registered dietitian (Registered Dietitian). The Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) is the final authority on the requirements for becoming a qualified nutrition expert. It is noteworthy that in the next five years, nutrition students will be required to pursue a masters degree. Currently, a bachelors de...gree and internship training are required to take the RD exam. What does this mean for future dietitians? It means that they will be will have graduate degrees and be more qualified to accomplish certain scholarly tasks. This will have a positive effect on their training as well. So, what can you do if you want to become a registered dietitian in the years to come? Consider pursuing a master's degree in a related field such as public health. There are programs such as The Chicago School Professional Psychology that have online public health programs for those students that are professionals and have difficulty attending on-ground courses.

As a professor of public health and nutrition, I often receive questions about nutrition and how people can become better consumers. Part of that is through training to become a health advocate and there is no better way than with a master's of public health. Nutrition and public health go hand in hand. See attached.
