eat right ™. Commission on Dietetic Registration the credentia ling agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Role
The purpose of the Commission, as the credentialing agency and organization unit of the Academy, is to serve the public by establishing and enforcing standards for certification, recertification and the Code of Ethics and by issuing credentials to individuals who meet these standards.  The Academy owns the credentials; however, CDR has independent authority in matters pertaining to certification, including standard setting, establishment of certification fees and administering credentialing programs.  CDR maintains a registry of over 100,000 credentialed dietetics practitioners.
 
Governance
The Commission currently consists of 12 members, 9 who are RDNs or RDs, 1 of whom is a newly credentialed practitioner, 1 NDTR or DTR and 1 public representative. Credentialed practitioners elect Commission members for three-year terms, including an elected DTR.  A Board-Certified Specialist and Advanced Practice in Clinical Nutrition representative was also included on CDR since the implementation of the specialist certification programs.  A public representative and a newly credentialed practitioner are appointed. The Chair and Vice-Chair are elected by the Commission for a one-year term June 1 - May 31.
