About Dietitians/Nutritionists
What are Dietitians and Nutritionists?Registered Dietitians and Nutritionists are regulated health professionals who are specifically trained as experts in nutrition and food. They play a vital role in supporting the health and well-being of all people living in Prince Edward Island by providing evidence-based advice tailored to each individual's unique needs, preferences, and challenges-including taste, culture, and accessibility. Dietitians empower their clients, patients, and communities to embrace food, understand it, and enjoy it. In PEI, dietitians contribute across a wide range of settings, including community health centres, hospitals, long-term care homes, diabetes programs, public health, provincial and federal government agencies, grocery stores, pharmacies, non-government organizations, athletics, academic and research institutions, and private practice. They also influence policy, direct nutrition programs, manage quality food services, and conduct research to advance the field.
