Dieticians apply the science of food and nutrition to improve health, quality of life and performance, and to prevent and treat disease. Dieticians work in hospitals, clinics, private practice, government institutions, the media and journalism, catering firms, the food industry, and as nutrition representatives and researchers. Dieticians specialise in therapeutic nutrition, community nutrition, sports nutrition, food service management, and nutrition research. Dietetics as a career includes a broad spectrum of infinite possibilities – from counselling healthy individuals to treating critically ill patients in hospital.
