Both nutritionists and dietitians specialize in food and nutrition, but their roles can differ. Dietitians are licensed professionals who provide medical nutrition therapy and develop personalized meal plans for managing health conditions. Nutritionists may offer general dietary advice and wellness guidance but may not have the same level of formal training or certification.
To become a registered dietitian in the UAE, one typically needs to complete a relevant degree in nutrition or dietetics, followed by a supervised internship. After meeting educational and practical requirements, candidates must pass a licensing exam to practice professionally.
