Hello
A common misconception in nutrition is that a clinical nutritionist and a registered dietitian are one and the same. While both careers are in the health and wellness industry and focus closely on the human body relative to nutrition intake, there are many distinctive differences. While there are many similarities between nutritionists and dietitians, some distinctive differences lead to two different career paths. The main difference is the certification requirements. A nutritionist has to pass a different certification examination to hold a nutritionist title. As either a nutritionist or dietician, you would also have a more comprehensive range of specialties you can choose to pursue, including sports nutrition, human performance, and pediatrics.
