In the late 19th century, the field of dietetics, which focuses on the science of nutrition and its effect on health, began to gain recognition. A growing awareness of the importance of proper nutrition led to the establishment of various organizations dedicated to promoting nutrition knowledge and education.
In 1927, the American Dietetic Association (ADA) was founded with the aim of advancing dietetics as a profession. The ADA played a crucial role in elevating the status of dietitians by advocating for standardized education and training, as well as promoting research in the field of nutrition.
In 1969, the ADA introduced a professional certification for dietitians, known as Registered Dietitian (RD). This credential was created to ensure that individuals practicing dietetics met certain education and competency standards. The RD designation became a mark of excellence for dietitians, signifying their expertise in the field of nutrition.
In 2013, the ADA made a significant change by expanding the RD credential to include the title Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). This alteration aimed to better reflect the wide-ranging roles and responsibilities of dietitians, emphasizing their expertise in both diets and nutrition science. The RDN designation continues to be used alongside RD, representing the same professional standards and qualifications.
