Review of Dietetics 2014-2016

The Review of Dietetics: Manual for the Registered Dietitian Exam, along with your individual study, should provide you with the skills and confidence you need to pass the registration examination and can prepare you for a successful career in dietetics. Previous editions of Review of Dietetics have helped thousands pass the credentialing examination. Developing a comprehensive manual that reflects current dietetic practice is an enormous professional challenge. All of us who have worked so hard on this manual have been motivated by a desire to upgrade professional practices. We know that earlier editions of the manual have helped generations of dietetic education program graduates become registered. Over the past 30 years, the book has become a text and reference for educators, students, dietetic interns and is found in many libraries. This manual is the most comprehensive study guide available to graduates preparing for the dietetic registration examination. In some ways, it is a "work in progress," having been constantly improved, updated, reformatted and expanded since its first edition in 1984. It is the result of thousands of hours of gathering, and updating information by dietetic educators, practitioners and content experts. There have been endless discussions of what is essential content for entry-level practice. The manual has been reviewed by many educators, RDs in practice, and by faculty who have taught review courses and we welcome suggestions from users of the book.
The content of 2014-2015 and 2014-2016 editions are the same because the Commission on Dietetic Registration has not changed the test specifications. The next edition of Review of Dietetics will be released in 2017.
