Career pathways for Dietetics graduates
Clinical Nutritionist
Clinical nutritionists look at a person's diet and medical history to see how their dietary choices might affect their health, prevent disease, or alleviate the symptoms of a chronic condition. In other words, they help patients and individuals lead healthier and more fulfilling lives despite having underlying medical conditions. A very common example of this is the management of diet for people suffering from diabetes.
Public Health Nutritionist
The primary role of a public health nutritionist is to improve the health and well-being of targeted groups or the general population. They do this by typically planning and implementing population-based nutrition promotion strategies through careful evaluation of human nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, public health data, behavioural and social sciences, and food systems.
Dietitian
A dietitian modifies a person's diet depending on medical issues, body composition, blood composition, or other contributing elements impacting nutrition. On a one-on-one basis, they examine, diagnose, suggest, and treat different medical diagnoses and nutritional disorders. Their main goal is to make sure that the person they're working with is getting the correct amount and type of nutrients.
