Steps to Become a Registered Dietitian                                             
  • Complete DPD coursework through an Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND®) accredited Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) or Coordinated Program in Dietetics (CP).
  • Complete 1000+ hours of supervised practice through an ACEND accredited Dietetic Internship, Coordinated Program in Dietetics or an Individualized Supervised Practice Pathway (ISPP) offered through an ACEND accredited program.
  • Master's Degree from an accredited University.
  • After all three are completed, pass a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
    • Some states require RDNs to be licensed/certified to practice in the state. Depending on state of residence and/or practice, application for state licensure/certification may be required. Washington, where Garden to Table Nutrition resides, requires certification.
Garden to Table Nutrition (GTTN) is an ACEND-accredited dietetic internship that provides the supervised practice hours (Step 2) in the Steps to Becoming a Registered Dietitian or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. For GTTN interns who first attempted the RD exam in 2021, 89% passed.
