ABOUT STEPHANIE NICOLE CARTER, MS, RDN
Passing the registration exam for dietitians is a necessary requirement to becoming a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). It is a cumulation of everything you learned in your graduate studies and supervised practice internship rotations. To say the exam is not easy to pass would be an understatement – it requires critical thinking and an in-depth knowledge in several areas.
Knowing how to start studying for the exam can be quite challenging. While the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) provides a comprehensive study outline for the exam, there is little direction as to how to study for the RD exam.
Carter Hall Lifestyle can provide you with direction and advice as you begin to sift through the various study resources available to dietetic students preparing for the RD exam. If it’s out there, we’ve seen it (or used it) – not to mention, we have taken the exam ourselves. Let our qualified dietitians help you decide which study materials will be the best at supporting your current knowledge base.
ACCOUNTABILITY SESSIONS* $50/HOUR
