to help individuals achieve better health with nutritional intervention.
Dietitians have diverse employment opportunities such as hospitals and other
health care settings, government agencies, the military, schools and universities,
food industries,
public health and wellness programs, business, private consulting practice
and communications. Many opportunities in international nutrition, management,
food service and health care are available for dietitians now and in the
future. New career options are available in sports nutrition, the media,

and food experts in their communities through a strong knowledge base,
critical thinking and communication skills and an emphasis on lifelong
