Obtaining Certified Dietitian Status in Wisconsin: Most states have licensed or certified dietitian status, and often this status is transferable between states. This process is entirely separate from the requirements of the ADA, and requirements vary by state.

After passing the registration exam, dietitians who wish to practice dietetics in Wisconsin are encouraged to apply to become a Certified Dietitian, as CD status is required by most employers. To access the forms to complete for temporary or full certification in Wisconsin, visit www.drl.state.wi.us or contact the State of Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing.

Interns who will practice dietetics outside of Wisconsin at the end of the internship should investigate the requirements of the state in which they plan to practice.
