Dietitian Associations

Organizations whose members are registered dietitians who have affiliated for the purpose of promoting mutual interests, participating in professional seminars and conferences, subscribing to medical journals and other publications, and taking advantage of other opportunities for continuing professional development. Many dietitian associations set standards which relate to the qualifications and performance of members, accept and investigate complaints from the public regarding the practices of members and maintain referral services through which residents who require dietetic assistance are referred to members.
