Dietitian Nutritionist Practice Board

The Dietetic and Nutrition Practice Act was signed into law in 1991. This regulatory statute

nutrition services in the public interest. The Board is comprised of seven members

appointed by the Secretary, consisting of four licensed under the statute, one licensed

physician, one registered professional nurse, and one public member. The Board is charged

with providing expert knowledge and advice on disciplinary matters and professional
