FAQ
The public may assume that dietitians and nutritionists are one and the same; but in British Columbia “nutritionist” is not a regulated health profession. Only qualified nutrition professionals who are registered with a regulatory body, such as the College of Dietitians of British Columbia, may call themselves dietitians. To be registered in B.C., dietitians must have a five-year university degree in nutrition with at least 1250 hours of supervised, hands-on training, and pass a national competence examination.
Most insurance companies will cover Dietitian Services with Registered Dietitians. However, we recommend you to contact your insurance to check if RD’s are covered under your insurance plan.
