Abstract

DIETETICS IS A GLOBAL PROfession, yet there are significant differences in dietetics
education, training, and
scope of practice among countries.1 The
International Confederation of Dietetic
Associations (ICDA) facilitates international professional definitions to
address these differences. A dietitian is
defined as a professional who applies
the science of food and nutrition to promote health, prevent and treat disease,
and to optimize the health of individuals, groups, communities, and populations.2 Since 1996, ICDA has periodically
published reports summarizing education and activities reported by national
dietetic organizations.1,3-6 Credentialing requirements also differ worldwide.
ICDA reports identify voluntary criteria,
and many countries have eligibility requirements related to education, supervised practice, competencies, or
examinations. Some input provided to
ICDA from national dietetics organizations is supported by practice audit results; however, many countries have
not conducted practice audits. Because
the profession of dietetics is increasingly becoming global, one must understand similarities and differences in
dietetics across the globe.
