Registration Eligibility General Information?

What does the term registration eligible mean?

The term registration eligible is used by the Commission on Dietetic Registration to identify individuals who have met the academic and supervised practice requirements to write the registration examination. The Commission will verify upon request that an individual has met registration eligibility requirements and the eligibility date. The term DTRE is not a professional designation/credential. The Commission has noted with concern an increase in the use of the term DTRE to designate registration eligibility. Both employers and the public find the use of the term confusing.
