Becoming a Registered Dietitian
How much school is required?
To become a Registered Dietitian in Canada, I went to the University of Alberta and pursued a Bachelor of Science degree. My major was Nutrition, and my minor was Physical Activity.
What about nutritionists?
In May 2016, the Alberta Government amended Part 10 of the Health Professions Act, and added “Nutritionist” as a protected title for dietitians in Alberta. Prior to this, anyone in Alberta could call themselves a nutritionist.
What does the dietetic internship involve?
After my degree, I spent 12 months as an intern on various placements. My dietetic internship included placements in Clinical Nutrition, Community Nutrition, Patient Food Services, and Management.
