Clinical dietitians assess nutritional needs, develop food service menus and evaluate client satisfaction and health outcomes. They work with doctors and other specialists to meet the nutritional needs of specific clients. Clinical dietitians help in managing the weight of overweight patients and caring for diabetic or other critically ill patients. Clinical dietitians often supervise the food service in nursing homes, smaller hospitals and jails.
Becoming a Dietitian
Attend a college or university and earn a bachelor's degree in dietetics, food and nutrition science, food service management, or a perhaps home economics, chemistry or biochemistry. These are usually four-year programs.
