Guest Answer: Is a dietitian that’s gonna be working with individuals under eighteen. So this can start from the first day of life the second child’s born up until seventeen years old. If you know that you wanna work with this population, first off, you can most certainly kind of in that undergrad process, get exposure to classes in pediatric nutrition. If you decide to complete an internship, then you can find internships that give you exposure to pediatrics from the get go. That’ll give you experience in the neonatal ICU and the pediatric ICU, and then in general outpatient counseling with pediatrics, working with different types of pediatric disease states.

Host Question: How do you become a pediatric nutritionist?

Guest Answer: That’s working with infants, children. So you would Follow the normal path for a registered dietitian, get your master’s degree, internship, registered dietitian, But then, additionally, the commission on dietetic registration also has some board certifications for these specialty positions. So you can be board certified in pediatric nutrition.

Guest Answer: And typically, it’s two thousand hours, I think practice work, supervised practice work in the area of pediatrics, so you would be working probably with a seasoned dietitian at a children’s hospital, and work under their supervision before you then could claim and test for that certification title to add. To your degree.

Guest Answer: To become a pediatric dietitian, you still have to get your bachelor’s degree still have to do your internship and get your r d. But during your internship, there’s actually a lot of programs now that when you’re looking at internships to apply to, a lot of them will have a pediatric focus. So I would suggest going into that or know, when you’re in your internship, there are probably opportunities where you can request more rotations in that area and just really getting your feet wet to decide if that’s what you wanna do. After you have your ID, you know, apply to those pediatric jobs like within the hospital or schools or the community that you’re person.
