Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) may work in clinical settings like hospitals, long-term care facilities, nutrition clinics, or private practice. They may also serve on healthcare teams or work individually with patients to treat and prevent disease.

Community-based RDNs counsel individuals and groups on nutritional practices designed to prevent disease and promote health. Management RDNs often oversee large-scale meal planning and preparation in health care facilities, schools, universities, restaurant chains, or private industry. A growing number of RDNs work in business, journalism, marketing, sports nutrition, and corporate wellness programs.
