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.

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 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.
