What does a Dietitian do?
Our dietitians are trusted professionals who provide nutrition therapy and services and are members of the College of Dietitians of British Columbia. Dietitians deliver evidence-based information and education to support informed choices about food and diet, and support, participate in, and encourage nutrition research.
