Registered Dietitian Exam Overview

The exam is multiple choice, with four answers for each question. The test is a computer adaptive testing (CAT) format, which means the difficulty of the questions increases or decreases based on whether you are answering questions correctly or incorrectly. The number of questions varies depending on how many you answer correctly, ranging from 125 to 145 questions. The test covers the following material:

• Principles of Dietetics (12%)
• Nutrition Care for Individuals and Groups (50%)
• Management of Food and Nutrition Programs and Services (21%)
• Foodservice System (17%)

Examinees will be allowed 2 hours 30 minutes to complete the exam. The score and decision will be received immediately upon completion of the exam.

Registered Dietitian Job Overview

Dietitians plan food and nutrition programs, supervise meal preparation, and oversee the serving of meals. They may manage food services systems for institutions such as hospitals and schools, promote sound eating habits through education, and conduct research. Dietitians may specialize to become clinical dietitians, community dietitians, management dietitians, or consultants.

Job Outlook

Most dietitians work in hospitals, nursing care facilities, outpatient care centers, or offices of physicians and other health care practitioners. Local government programs provide additional jobs through correctional facilities, health departments, and public health-related services. Dietitians with specialized training, advanced degrees, or additional certifications will enjoy the best opportunities in these employment areas.

Advancement

Dietitians will find advancement opportunities in all areas. They are known to be promoted in management, or to specialize in areas such as renal, diabetic, cardiovascular, or pediatric dietetics. Dietitians may also become sales representatives or consultants for equipment, pharmaceutical, or food manufacturers.

Salary and Benefits

A Registered Dietitian’s salary depends on licensure, experience, job function, and geographic setting. The average dietitian earns approximately $50,000 per year, with salaries commonly ranging between $40,000 and $60,000.

Education and Training

Most dietitians have a bachelor’s degree in dietetics, food and nutrition, food service systems management, or related areas. In the US, 33 states require licensure, 12 require statutory certification, and one requires registration.

Though not required, Dietitians can pass an exam and become certified through the Commission on Dietetic Registration of the American Dietetic Association. This certification also requires a supervised internship.
