Welcome to the Upper East Side Dieticians section containing Dieticians in 10022, 10065, 10021, 10075, 10028 and 10128 zip codes. A dietician (or registered dietician) is a professional who provides scientifically based, objective nutrition information. The nutritional information you are given by a registered dietician is not subject to current fads and wild claims. There are many specialties in the field of dietetics, just like there are many physicians who specialize in a given area of expertise. Dieticians can specialize in certain disease states, provide in-patient hospital and out-patient clinic counseling, sports nutrition, food service, public health, business, research and journalism. Dieticians must complete both academic and experiential work to be credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and must have completed a bachelor's degree in nutrition/dietetics from an accredited college/university. Dieticians are also required to pass a comprehensive credentialing exams, and must complete ongoing academic professional development to maintain their status as registered dieticians. Neither doctors nor nutritionists, even though they dispense nutrition information, are required to demonstrate current knowledge of nutrition principles or diet in the United States that is required of those who have an RD. Be sure to hold your mouse over any bold-italicized listings for a special pop-up description.
