Summary

Utah certifies dietitians only as certified dietitians. However, there is no state certification requirement for providing nutrition care. Only state certified individuals may use the titles: "dietitian," "certified dietitian," the letters "C.D.," the letter "D," or any other title, words, letters, abbreviations, or insignia indicating or implying that the person is a certified dietitian.
