FAQs
Frequently asked questions regarding nutritional services
An RDN is a nutrition expert in the healthcare arena. An RDN has completed an accredited dietetics program at a university, passed a national exam, and has a Bachelor's or Master's degree. While the title "Dietitian" can only be used by a person who has met these stringent requirements, the title "Nutritionist" is not defined—anyone can call themselves a nutritionist regardless of their training or lack thereof.
RDNs are trained in Medical Nutrition Therapy, which includes nutrition care for hospitalized patients and healthy individuals. We have an experienced and diverse team of RDNs at Intermountain Healthcare. Many have specialty credentials that signify advanced training and experience. The specialty credentials include Certified Diabetes Educator, Certified Nutrition Support Clinician, Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition, Certified Specialist in Sports Nutrition, and Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management.
