Where a dietitian can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a dietitian already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Dietitians assess specific nutritional requirements of populations or individuals throughout their lives and translate this into advice which will maintain, reduce risk to, or restore people’s health. Using evidence-based approaches, dietitians work to empower individuals, families and groups to provide or select food which is nutritionally adequate, safe, tasty and sustainable. Beyond healthcare, dietitians improve the nutritional environment for all through governments, industry, academia and research.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a dietitian already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
