California Dietetic Association (CDA) is a not-for-profit voluntary membership association of approximately 6500 Registered Dietitians (RDs), Dietetic Technicians Registered (DTRs), and nutrition students dedicated to healthy lifestyles through food decisions and the delivery of effective food and nutrition services by qualified dietetic professionals and association members.
The primary purpose of the CDA is to oversee and protect the regulation and scope of practice of RDs and DTRs in California; support the roles in the delivery of healthcare in California; and to ensure and promote informed food decisions by consumers.
About Registered Dietitians:
Registered Dietitians (RDs) are highly educated and trained health professionals who provide nutrition education and dietetic services. All RDs have at the minimum a Bachelor’s degree, have completed a qualifying internship, passed a national registration examination, and complete ongoing continuing education.
RDs (Dietitians) work in health promotion, prevention and treatment of disease through the practice of evidence-based medical nutrition therapy. Dietitians practice in hospitals, HMOs, outpatient clinics, business and industry, community and public health settings, culinary and food service, schools, academia, scientific research, in private practice and other health care settings. The RD is recognized in Medicare regulations as qualified to provide and be reimbursed for medical nutrition therapy for diabetes and renal disease.
