Careers in Food, Nutrition, and Dietetics The dynamic and diverse fields of food, nutrition and dietetics lead to a variety of career opportunities. Those who progress in the field of dietetics and become Registered Dietitians provide practical food, nutrition and management expertise in many settings including hospitals, out-patient clinics, long-term care facilities, research centers, schools, sport and fitness centers and private practice. Registered Dietitians also manage food service operations in restaurant, health care, school and industry settings.
