Medical Nutrition Therapy is an essential component of comprehensive health care services. Individuals with a variety of conditions and illnesses can improve their health and quality of life by receiving medical nutrition therapy.
In Medical Nutrition Therapy, nutrition-based treatment follows evaluation of a patient's nutrition status. This treatment can range from changes in diet to providing specialized therapies.
Dietitians provide nutrition services to patients who are referred by their physician or who would like to maintain a healthier liefstyle. They work with the medical team to assess the patient's needs and develop a care plan. Services may include a diet history, review of lab data, diet counseling, suggestions for improvement or specialized treatments. In fact, successful treatment of diabetes, kidney disease, and pressure ulcers and other diseases depends on nutrition assessment, monitoring, and therapy.
WHAT IS A REGISTERED DIETITIAN?
Registered Dietitians (RD) are Food and Nutrition Experts trained in the science of food and nutrition and its applications to health. At minimum, Registered dietitians have completed a bachelor's degree in nutrition science, passed a national registration boards examination, and served an extensive internship, often in a hospital or medical center. More than half of all registered dietitians exceed these minimum qualifications and hold master's or doctoral degrees. These certifications are awarded through CDR, the credentialing agency for ADA, and/or other medical and nutrition organizations and are recognized within the profession. In addition to RD credentialing, many states have regulatory laws for dietitians and nutrition practitioners.
