Nutrition and Dietetics: Overview
The Nutrition and Dietetic Practice Board licenses dietitians and nutritionists. While anyone can furnish nutritional information on food or vitamins, only licensed individuals may call themselves nutritionists or dietitians.
The Board sets educational and professional requirements to issue and renew licenses, investigates complaints from the public about unprofessional or unethical conduct, and takes disciplinary action when required.
