What is a Registered Dietitian?

​

A Registered Dietitian (RD) is a regulated health professional who is qualified to assess nutritional health and provide evidence-based nutrition advice. In Ontario, Registered Dietitians are regulated by the College of Dietitians of Ontario, ensuring they meet rigorous education, competency, and ethical standards.

To become a Registered Dietitian, practitioners must complete:

  • A recognised university degree in nutrition and dietetics

  • Extensive supervised practical training

  • A national registration examination

  • Ongoing continuing education to maintain their professional registration

​
