Credentialing Process

The successful completion of a dietetic internship is an important step to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). After completing either the Central Valley WIC MS/DI Program, or, if the intern already has a master's degree, the DI Program; the intern graduate will be qualified to take the Registration Exam to become an RDN. Once the intern graduate passes the Registration Exam, he or she is qualified to work as an RDN in a variety of settings, including Community Nutrition, Clinical Nutrition and Food Service Management.

For more information about the requirements for becoming an RDN, and Dietetic Technician Registered (DTR), including education, viable routes to supervised practice and passage on the credentialing exam, please visit the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website, at this link, "Become an RDN or DTR."
