Practice

The Academy and its Commission on Dietetic Registration believe it is in the best interest of the profession and the public it serves to have a Code of Ethics that guides professional practice and conduct.

The Academy develops practice guidelines, position papers and consensus statements to inform members of the latest research on specific topics in the field of nutrition and dietetics and to assist with implementing evidence-based principles into daily practice.

Nutrition and dietetics practitioners, students and educators can find a plethora of resources for their work and studies, including scope and standards of practice, nutrition informatics and topics resources.

The Nutrition Care Process is a systematic method that dietetics and nutrition professionals use to provide nutrition care.

Dietetics research improves patient care and outcomes by collecting, evaluating and analyzing data from different nutrition interventions to provide a foundation for evidence-based practice.
