The Best Dietitian Programs

The best dietitian programs are the ones that offer both academic and clinical experiences and hands-on training. The American Dietetic Association acknowledges approval for two types of programs, one is the didactic program in dietetics and the other is the coordinated program in dietetics. The coordinated program includes the clinical experience as a part of the curriculum, making the student eligible to take the registry exam immediately while the didactic program only provides the academic requirements; this leaves the student with the need to complete an internship before taking the exam.
