Registered Dietician programs require you to complete your high school education followed by completing a Bachelor's level degree in a coordinated program in dietetics which means classroom based study combined with practical experience in the field as per the requirements of the Commission on the Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association. Completing the undergraduate degree with the above mentioned specification allows the students to sit for the Registration Examination for Dietitians. Clearing the exam qualifies you to be a 'Registered Dietitian'.
