Retirement Considerations

Working in the field of nutrition and dietetics gives credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners a sense of professional identity and purpose. For this reason, the consideration of retirement can be a daunting life change. However, to ensure the accurate use of the credential and to align with the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s (CDR) mission to protect the public, CDR does not offer a retired status for the credential.

Practitioners may relinquish their credential(s) if they no longer wish to practice. To voluntarily discontinue registration status, email cdr@eatright.org.
