NOTE - Your scope of practice as a Sports Nutrition Specialist allows you to provide insight relating to the interrelationships between physiology and nutrition relative to fitness, exercise, and athletic performance among apparently healthy individuals. Dietitians are the appropriate health care professionals to be consulted for the planning and managing of a patient's diet in hospitals and providing specialized dietary advice. Moreover, a dietitian should be involved in providing nutrition advice if the client is not apparently healthy. Moreover, Sports Nutrition Specialists cannot diagnose disease and advise on treatment of disease. Dietitians provide nutritional care relating to the effects of disease on nutrient metabolism using diet therapy, nutritional assessments, and clinical nutrition counseling.
Simple Testing Process: With your initial materials you will receive a letter listing the (5) test sites located closest to you as well as exam scheduling procedures. These exam procedures are as easy as calling a test site location and setting up your test date appointment. There are over 120 professional testing sites across the country with one located near you. If you are located at too great of a distance from a site, simple arrangements will be made so that your exam can as easily be taken in your own home town.
