Scope of Dietetics Practice Framework Documents

The Framework is a cornerstone for the profession.  It provides a flexible decision-making structure that empowers its practitioners to provide safe, effective, timely healthcare services.  The Framework and its applications are described on the pages that follow. The American Dietetic Association House of Delegates approved the Framework on November 3, 2004.

The Framework is an umbrella that encompasses the entire practice of dietetics.  The Framework is for use by practicing Registered Dietitians (RDs), Dietetic Technician, Registered (DTRs), and students to guide their career development.  It can also be used as an aid to organizations when making employment decisions.  After clicking on each link, click the BACK button to return to this Web page.
