The Scope and Standards of Practice are a comprehensive framework describing both the competent level of practice as well as the depth and breadth of practice in nutrition and dietetics for RDNs or NDTRs.
The Scope and Standards of Practice serve as a key resource for credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners to:
- Understand the practice environment and standards that guide practice
- Evaluate, improve, and expand their practice
- Demonstrate and assure safe and quality practice for the individuals and organizations they serve.
Focus Area Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance are tools used by RDNs for self-assessment, professional development and advancement of practice.
The Scope and Standards of Practice for the RDN and NDTR guides the practitioner to resources that evaluate whether they can safely and effectively provide an expanded practice skill and advance individual practice.
