The Tennessee Dietetic Association (TDA) represents over 1300 food and nutrition experts who are members of the American Dietetic Association (ADA).  The majority of these members are Registered Dietitians (RD).  The RD has completed
academic coursework, advanced practice certifications, obtained
graduate or doctoral degrees and is credentialed by the Commission
on Dietetic Registration. Registered Dietitians are licensed by the
State of Tennessee to provide expert food and nutrition information,
advice and consultative care. 

A Registered Dietitian is trained to translate scientific, evidence based
research into food and nutrition practice settings such as -
hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, research labs, public health clinics,
health and wellness facilities, grocery stores, universities, food
and nutrition programs for school age children and for sports teams.

TDA serves the public by promoting optimal nutrition, health and well
being for all Tennesseans.
