XP: also, I love your blog 
babycopz is kinda sorta feeling out medical dietetics as a major. Just wanted some insight.
She was 100% sure about exercise phys. but then she got to exploring other majors that have an impact on health and did some reading on dietetics.
Re: ~*TheMorrisseys*~
Thank you!
I think the RD Q&A on my blog will help with some questions and it's a bunch of RD's that helped compile the responses, so I think that it's a valuable resource.
I absolutely, positively love what I do and all the posibilities dietetics offers for career paths. I work in a dialysis unit, teach college, and have a private practice that I'm trying to grow, and I love that I can do all of those things with my credentials.
Researching into CADE-accredited programs would be step 1. There's a big difference between pursuing dietetics or nutrition, and going the accredited route. Only an accredited program will allow students to pursue a dietetic internship and then sit for boards (the "RD exam"). I hear a lot of stories of people going into programs not knowing their accreditation status and ending up at a dead-end. While a few "nutritionists" slip through the cracks and into private practices, medical facilities and practices will only hire Registered Dietitians.
The schooling isn't easy -- I struggled with science...a lot. There's a ton of chemistry, physiology, biochemistry, etc. More than I ever could've imagined, but I've come to value those classes being in practice because I feel my knowledge has me competitive and valuable in the medical field.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to email or PM me. I am very passionate about what I do
Thank you so much for you response!
We aren't actually geographically far from you and she will be attending a local university that starts with OSU
I just C&P'd your post to her. I am sure she will have many more questions.
It's funny because I posted this on P&CE first and there are two posts stating exactly the same thing that you just said, they reached a dead end.
She is passionate about healthy living and eating and at 18 I want her to carry that with her no matter what she decides on in college.
