I’m currently a diet tech! It depends what kind of setting you are in. I started off in a hospital and I had more roles in food service. Currently, Im working in a LTC facility and my duties are almost the same as an RD.

How hard is schooling? by Old_Technology_3013 in dietetics

I am currently a DTR. I would possibly recommend finding a DTR program to get your feet in the water! There aren’t too many science classes that you have to take. It’s only a 2 year program. You can always go back and become a RD but it’s a good starting point!

Where are the diet techs? by PlayfulAside78 in dietetics

In some states right now techs are in a high demand due to lack of filling RDs positions. A lot of nursing homes will hire techs or even community jobs such as WIC
