The vital role of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNS) are integral to preventative medicine, patient care and overall wellness initiatives. But, the need for these nutritionists is outpacing the current talent. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for RDNs are projected to grow substantially in the coming decade, exceeding the average for all other occupations. This crisis has created a pressing need for innovative solutions to attract, retain and develop these essential professionals.

How Sodexo fights the labor crisis in dietetics

To combat the dietetics labor crisis, Sodexo Healthcare services has launched a groundbreaking initiative to facilitate the career growth of dietitians: the Clinical Nutrition Professional Career Ladder. The Career Ladder is a program designed to facilitate RDNs practicing at the top of their credentials, providing better patient care and fostering diverse and efficient teams.
