Be a Dietary Technician: Education and Career Roadmap
Learn how to become a dietary technician. Research the education requirements, training information and experience required for starting a career as a dietary technician.
Do I Want to Be a Dietary Technician?
Dietary technicians, or dietetic technicians, assist dietitians in planning and preparing meals that meet established nutritional guidelines. They might educate, screen and evaluate patients; monitor patient progress; and plan diets/menus for clients. Technicians might need to use tact and patience when dealing with their clients.
Job Requirements
Becoming a dietary technician generally requires the Dietetic Technician, Registered (DTR) credential administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Gaining this credential involves completion of an accredited associate degree program and 450 hours of supervised practice or a bachelor's degree coupled with completion of a didactic or coordinated dietetics program. The following table lists the main qualifications for dietary technicians:
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Associate degree is standard, though some employers require a bachelor's degree*
|Degree Fields
|Dietetic technician, nutrition, dietetics*
|Certification is not mandatory, but many employers prefer to hire technicians registered with the CDR*
|Experience requirements vary by employer, but one year of experience is often required*
|Key Skills
|Communication skills, ability to actively listen, reading comprehension, ability to think critically and make decisions, attention to detail, compassion and sensitivity**
|Computer Skills
|Familiarity with dietetic software like Axxya Systems Nutritionist Pro, CyberSoft NutriBase and CBORD Nutrition Service Suite as well as knowledge of spreadsheet software**
|Additional Requirements
|Ability to use cutlery, food scales, ovens and other cooking equipment necessary for preparing meals**
Sources: *Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com Job postings (August 2012), **O*Net OnLine.
Step 1: Complete an Associate Degree Program
Completion of an associate degree program related to dietetics or nutrition is common for many dietetic technicians; in fact, becoming a DTR requires completion of at least an associate degree accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). Coursework typically includes general science courses, management of foodservice systems and food/nutrition sciences. Accredited dietetic technician programs also incorporate 450 hours of supervised practice into their curricula, which is required for the DTR credential. During this time, students will gain hands-on work experience and apply what they have learned throughout their coursework.
Success Tip:
- Get relevant work experience during college. While experience is not always required to find employment as a dietetic technician, some employers prefer to hire candidates who've worked in the field. Students can take advantage of internships or fieldwork experiences offered by their programs, or they can seek student positions in a variety of health care settings. This will allow the student to become familiar with the responsibilities of the position and make contacts in the field.
Step 2: Consider Earning a Bachelor's Degree
Aspiring dietary technicians may also choose to earn a bachelor's degree program. Students do not need to major in dietetics or nutrition at this level, although majors related to dietetics and nutrition may result in the student requiring less additional coursework. Students who earn unrelated bachelor's degrees are required to complete supplementary coursework in an ACEND-accredited Coordinated Program (CP) or Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD). A CP combines supervised experience with classroom instruction, while a DPD provides only classroom instruction in conjunction with a degree program. The student would then be responsible for applying to and completing an accredited supervised experience program .
If a student has already started a bachelor's degree program, he or she must consult with the program director of the school's dietetics technician program to determine if additional components must be completed. Depending on the previous coursework and any supervised experience the student may have already completed, the director may assign a DPD or CP program.
Step 3: Become a Dietetic Technician, Registered
After meeting the education and supervised experience requirements, aspiring dietary technicians can become registered by passing a national written examination administered by the CDR. Since many employers prefer to hire dietary technicians with the DTR credential, taking this examination may improve employment prospects. The multiple-choice exam varies in length, with each individual receiving an exam that contains a minimum of 110 questions and a maximum of 130 questions. Examinees can expect a variety of content to be covered on the exam, including food and nutrition sciences, management, food system services and nutrition care for individuals and groups.
Success Tip:
- Use a study guide to prepare for exam. Examinees can choose to use a study guide to prepare for the DTR examination. The Study Guide for the Registration Examination for Dietetic Technicians is a valuable resource provided by the CDR that individuals can refer to prior to taking the exam. This study guide includes a practice exam, references and comprehensive study outline.
Step 4: Maintain Registration
Continuing education is needed to maintain registration as a registered dietetic technician. This includes the completion of 50 hours of continuing professional education over a five-year registration period. Activities comprising these units are listed through the CDR, though DTRs can request prior approval for an activity that is not listed.

SWOYERSVILLE — An assistant fire chief for the Swoyersville Volunteer Hose Co. 1 says that despite what borough officials think, the fire station is operating and seeking donations this year to get back on its feet.
Last week, borough officials said they were unsure if the fire company was operating because there had been no activity at the station and efforts to contact representatives were unsuccessful.
A flier began circulating the borough, soliciting donations for the 2013 operating year, and Councilman Chris Concert said he was unaware if the station was active after an alleged theft of bingo money in 2008.
Assistant Fire Chief Frank Hawk said Monday that after Carol Gamble, 51, and Catherine Drago, 82, were charged in 2008 with taking more than $700,000 in bingo proceeds, the department saw a decline in membership and did not have the manpower to continue operating.
"Things were going downhill, and we didn't think it could be saved," Hawk said. "But we didn't want that to happen. Now, we're trying to keep the fire department alive and serve the people of Swoyersville the best that we can."
Hawk said in a letter to The Times Leader that the fire company cannot comment on the criminal charges pending against Gamble and Drago, but that the eight to 10 remaining members "hold faith that the legal trial will show that no money was taken by any member."
Hawk said Gamble and Drago remain as officers of the hose company and the station has technically never stopped operating.
The company did not solicit for funding for the past two years because the station was not active enough because of a manpower shortage, Hawk said.
In July 2012, Hose Co. 1's fire engine was put "on loan" to the West Wyoming Station 285 on Stites Street because that station's engine experienced a mechanical problem with a ruptured tank and is undergoing repairs.
Hawk said the West Wyoming truck is being stored in Swoyersville while West Wyoming uses Hose Co. 1's truck. That truck, Hawk said, has responded to 46 calls since July 2012.
"It's a long process to get the truck repaired," Hawk said. "West Wyoming isn't dragging their feet."
Hawk said the station is using state grant money to repair the truck while the Swoyersville Volunteer Hose Co. 1 also is using state grant money to get the station back up and running.
Hawk called the West Wyoming station Hose Co. 1's "sister station" and noted many members of Hose Co. 1 belong to the West Wyoming Station 285.
Donations the station receives this year through its fundraiser will be put toward operating the hose company, Hawk said.
"We've got a good response from our ward," Hawk said of the section of Swoyersville the hose company services.
A fundraiser run by the borough's two other fire stations touts them as responding to 100 percent of the borough's emergency calls, but that is not true, Hawk said.
"Last year, there were 110 calls total for the entire year for Swoyersville itself," Hawk said, noting that his station has responded to 46 calls since July 2012 while being dispatched from the West Wyoming station. "They are playing childish games … instead of attempting to work together."
Calls placed to fire chiefs of Swoyersville's other two fire stations were not returned Monday.

Latinos are the fastest growing population group in Rhode Island, but they lack the skills and education needed to get ahead. That's the major finding of a new study published by the Latino Policy Institute at Roger Williams University.
Latinos constitute about 13 percent of Rhode Island's population, a number that is expected to grow over the next decade. But they are ill-equipped for the 21st century workforce according to Ana Cano Morales, director of the Latino Policy Institute at Roger Williams University and author of a new report on Latinos in the Ocean State.
Providence could do a much better job teaching non-native English speakers, according to a new report from the Council of Great City Schools. The report finds expectations are not high enough in many of the city's English language learning classrooms. It also says those students are not benefiting from broader efforts to improve Providence Public Schools.
Providence School officials say they will convene a task force to respond to the recommendations in the report, which was commissioned by the district.

The cutscene in games has arguably taken many forms, from the simple and minimal narrative vignettes of Ms. Pac-Man to the lushly animated FMVs that were once one of the prime selling points of the Final Fantasy series. Many now view these experiences as intrusive moments in a game world that disrupt visual consistency or serve as storytelling short cuts that don't do the medium justice.
This week the Moving Pixels podcast crew discuss the history of the cutscene in video games, what they may or may not have evolved into, and whether or not they still have a place in video game storytelling.

Oakland Athletics SS Marcus Semien and P Chris Bassitt could make immediate contributions to the team next year. C Josh Phegley and 1B Rangel Ravelo are expected to start at Class AAA. It appears that shortstop is Semien's job to lose in spring training, although he's mostly played third base and second with the Chicago White Sox. Bassitt could be the team's fourth or fifth starter going into next season.

Address national debt before it drags state down
The national debt is a big problem, and not just in the abstract. By the numbers, our obligations amount to more than $16 trillion. If you wanted to know the last time that our country owed as much as a share of the economy as we do now, you'd have to go all the way back to the World War II era. Back then the "Greatest Generation" put in the hard work to build the world's most advanced economy and helped us all climb out of a deep financial hole.
This time around it may require an even stronger effort. Just a short decade from now, the publicly held portion of our national debt -- the metric experts believe is the most meaningful -- will eclipse the size of the entire economy. Choosing not to act will do nothing more than deepen our fiscal concerns and shift more of the burden to our nation's young people and onto future generations.
If you're wondering how tackling such a deep and complex task begins, the answer is that it starts with you. Over 270,000 individuals from across the country have signed on to a new grassroots movement called the Campaign to Fix the Debt at www.FixTheDebt.org. As a part of this group, we have been fortunate to work alongside leading CEOs, former elected officials and concerned citizens all seeking to bridge the partisan divide and effect change in Washington.
The bottom line is that our lawmakers must make debt reduction a priority. Without a solid plan in place, it's easy to see how businesses will suffer. Deep deficits over the long-term will simply require the government to spend an ever-increasing amount servicing the debt, money that could instead be used for investing in infrastructure or basic research or even just in keeping tax rates low. It also means an inevitable rise in interest rates, which would make it harder for business-owners to borrow money to put back into growing businesses, and undoubtedly less money for new hires as well.
Unless something is done, the effects of our mounting debt will be felt right here at home. Washington boasts a robust technology services sector, and excellent facilities for shipping and trade, but the concerns of public debt could be too much to overcome. Already, businesses around the country are putting off making new hires or investments in the face of the "fiscal cliff," the spending reductions and expiring tax cuts set to go into effect on Jan. 1.
With both short- and long-term problems facing us, we need a comprehensive solution, and we need it soon. Everything -- spending cuts, changes to entitlement programs, wholesale tax reform -- must be on the table. And our elected leaders must be willing to buck favored constituencies to get an agreement done. But they need your help to let them know that a long-term deal on the debt is something you want -- that it's good politics in addition to good policy.
For this reason we hope that Washingtonians from Seattle to Spokane recognize the urgency of solving this problem. We need Democrats and Republicans alike to put aside their differences and do what is necessary to meet this challenge. Together we can get this done.
Steve Hobbs is state senator representing parts of Snohomish County. Tim Leavitt is mayor of Vancouver. They are co-chairmen of the Washington state committee of The Campaign to Fix the Debt, a non-partisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path.

5 Back-Office Tech Innovations
Did you know a smartphone can double as a barcode reader? A new app called CodeREADr (www.codereadr.com) can scan, record, track, and validate barcodes from shipping packages and products. For example, a wholesaler in Houston called Texas Jasmine (www.texasjasmine.com), which services about 5,000 convenience stores in Texas, uses the app to scan UPC symbols on all products. The barcode scans feeds directly into their POS system as a way to track inventory. The main advantage to using the app, which works on the iPhone and many Android and BlackBerry phones, is that the wholesaler does not need to invest in expensive barcode scanning equipment and relies on the handheld devices already being used.

Associated Press
Utah at Phoenix (9 p.m. EST). Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion were chosen from the Suns for the NBA`s All-Star game, while coach Mike D`Antoni will lead the West team.
-Carmelo Anthony and Steve Blake, Nuggets. Anthony scored 33 points and Blake had 19 points and 14 assists in Denver`s 114-107 win over Portland.
-Luol Deng, Bulls, scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Chicago to a 107-101 victory over Seattle.
-Elton Brand, Clippers, scored 26 points and grabbed 19 rebounds and Los Angeles defeated Boston 100-89.
-Baron Davis, Warriors, scored 25 points and added 12 assists in Golden State`s 102-101 victory over Philadelphia.
Denver`s Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith were involved in a fender bender on their way to the team shootaround Friday morning, coach George Karl said. Neither player was injured and both played against Portland on Friday night. They missed the shootaround so they could take care of paperwork following the mishap. Anthony scored 33 points and Smith added 17 in Denver`s 114-107 overtime win.
Boston lost its franchise-record 14th consecutive game Friday night, falling 100-89 to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Celtics have not won since beating Memphis on Jan. 5. In addition to their overall streak, they`ve lost a franchise-record 11 consecutive home games and are a league-worst 4-19 at home. Boston is 2-20 since Paul Pierce went out with a stress reaction in his left foot.
Toronto beat Atlanta 103-91 on Friday night. Winners of five of six, the Atlantic Division-leading Raptors improved to 24-23, the first time since 2001-02 that they`ve been over .500 this late in a season. Toronto hasn`t had a winning record since it started the 2004-05 season 4-3.
Orlando forward Grant Hill is expected to miss at least two weeks because of a sprained knee. Hill sprained his medial collateral ligament Wednesday against Milwaukee. He is the Magic`s second-leading scorer, averaging 15 points in 39 games. Orlando beat New Jersey 119-86 on Friday night.
Andre Iguodala had his third career triple-double with 25 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds, but Philadelphia lost to Golden State 102-101 on Friday night. ... Joe Johnson scored 28 points in Atlanta`s 103-91 loss to Toronto.
``I try to look at him as just another player. He`s a good player, but there`s also Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony - who I`ve all played against. Maybe last year I was a little enamored by the superstars, but this year they`re just another player to me.`` - Indiana`s Danny Granger after the Pacers 95-84 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. The second-year forward helped hold Kobe Bryant to 22 points on 7-of-25 shooting from the field as the Pacers rallied in the fourth quarter to win for the fifth time in six games.

More Wyoming, New Mexico players penalized for brawl
Associated Press
Thu, Feb 1, 2007
CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- Two more players were suspended - one indefinitely - and two had their suspensions extended Thursday by the Mountain West Conference for fighting during New Mexico`s home win over Wyoming on Tuesday.
The penalties were agreed upon by the schools and the conference.
Wyoming`s Brandon Ewing and Brad Jones - the team`s top scorers - and New Mexico`s Jamaal Smith were ejected from the game and automatically suspended from their team`s next game. Wyoming plays at No. 16 Air Force and New Mexico is at Colorado State - both on Saturday.
The conference suspended Jones and Smith for an additional game, and added a one-game suspension for New Mexico`s Darren Prentice. They`ll serve those suspensions when New Mexico visits Wyoming on March 3.
Wyoming suspended Joseph Taylor indefinitely.
New Mexico players Daniel Faris, J.R. Giddens and Aaron Johnson received reprimands.
``This altercation was extremely unfortunate, totally unacceptable and reflected negatively on the conference and the two participating institutions,`` Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson said.
The fight occurred with 1:10 left to go in the game, which New Mexico won 91-83.
It began when Ewing, the league`s leading scorer, became entangled with Smith. As players from both teams converged, Jones shoved Giddens, and Smith threw a punch at Jones.
Ewing and Jones have accounted for 48 percent of Wyoming`s scoring this season, 51 percent of its 3-point shooting, 45 percent of its steals, and 63 percent of the team`s free throws and assists.

Finally a Burger for Everyone to Enjoy
DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — As consumers struggle to find healthy, allergen-free, convenient foods, Doylestown, PA-based Asherah's Gourmet is proud to announce the expansion of their line of 100% certified organic, certified gluten-free, soy-free Vegan Burgers. Their products are now available in 58 Whole Foods Market stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Ohio, and Kentucky. They are also at independent health food stores, food co-ops, on the menus at cafes and restaurants in 18 states and online at the Gluten-Free Mall.
Founder Asherah Aentara of Doylestown, PA, created a new and delicious vegan burger recipe based on a popular high-protein grain known as quinoa. Once a sacred crop of the Incas, quinoa is now considered a "super crop" by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
"I was chronically ill for 15 years and regained my health through changing my diet. I then began giving cooking classes to help support others. My students often prompted me to bring some of my recipes to market, particularly one for a healthy vegan/veggie burger. At the time I had a 6-figure income and no interest or knowledge of how to do so. Suddenly, the company my husband and I worked for went bankrupt and our income disappeared. My husband said, 'Honey, I think it's time to market your burgers.'"
This is a great accomplishment for vegans and those intolerant of soy, gluten, dairy and nuts. Studies show one in 130 people have celiac disease and it's believed that gluten intolerance is as much as one in seven. In addition, according to the Cornucopia Institute, many vegan/veggie burger brands that use soy protein isolate are contaminated with "hexane," a neuro-toxin.
"Asherah's Gourmet vegan/veggie burgers are food chemistry perfection," says Dr. Anabelle Morales, Assistant Professor of Food Science, Technology and Nutrition. "An earthy, dark, and warm appearance … a dense, smooth texture … flavorful aroma … and delicious, rich, mouth-watering flavor … an amazing smell and taste interaction! These veggie burgers nourish my body, helping to promote and maintain good health."
The President's panel on cancer prevention recommends eating organic foods free of pesticides and herbicides to lower the risk of developing cancer.

Government: Chavez may not be well by inauguration
Former Supreme Court magistrate Roman Duque Corredor said a president cannot delegate the swearing-in to anyone else and cannot take the oath of office outside Venezuela. A president could still be sworn in even if temporarily incapacitated, but would need to be conscious and in Venezuela, Duque told The Associated Press.
If a president-elect is declared incapacitated by lawmakers and is unable to be sworn in, the National Assembly president would temporarily take charge of the government and a new presidential vote must be held within 30 days, Duque said.
Chavez said Saturday that if such new elections were held, Maduro should be elected president in his place.
Villegas said in a message on a government website that it would be irresponsible to hide news about the "delicateness of the current moment and the days to come." He asked Venezuelans to see Chavez's condition as "when we have a sick father, in a delicate situation after four surgeries in a year and a half."
On Wednesday night, Villegas went on television to give an update, saying Chavez was in "stable condition." Reading from a statement, he said Chavez was with his close relatives and said the government invited people to "accompany President Chavez in this new test with their prayers."
Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa also acknowledged the possibility of losing his close ally, while wishing him the best. "Chavez is very important for Latin America, but if he can't continue at the head of Venezuela, the processes of change have to continue," Correa said.
Maduro looked sad as he spoke on television, his voice hoarse and cracked at times after meeting in the pre-dawn hours with Cabello and Ramirez. The pair returned to Venezuela about 3 a.m. after accompanying Chavez to Cuba for his surgery.
"It was a complex, difficult, delicate operation," Maduro said. "The post-operative process is also going to be a complex and hard process."
Without giving details, Maduro reiterated Chavez's recent remarks that the surgery presented risks and that people should be prepared for any "difficult scenarios, which can be faced only with the unity of the people." Still, he expressed optimism Chavez would return home.
The vice president criticized the opposition, accusing it of using Chavez's illness to attack him. Many political adversaries have said the president should be more forthcoming about details of his pelvic cancer.
The dramatic events of this week, with Chavez suddenly taking a turn for the worse, had some Venezuelans wondering whether they were being told the truth because just a few months ago the president was running for his fourth presidential term and had said he was free of cancer.
Lawyer Maria Alicia Altuve, who was out in bustling crowds in a shopping district of downtown Caracas, said it seemed odd how Maduro wept at a political rally while talking about Chavez.
"He cries on television to set up a drama, so that people go vote for poor Chavez," Altuve said. "So we don't know if this illness is for that, or if it's that this man is truly sick."

PJ had MJ, Shaq and KB and he won Chips. But I believe Phil has met hi smatch with Mello. He's a branded loser. If PJ manages to turn that loser into a Champ, Phil will be unprecedented in every aspect of greatness. But I believe Mello will always fail.Mar 19 2014 04:59 PM
MrRJI'm sorry last I checked only one team wins championships. So there's only 3 guys who are not brand losers since that point? LeBron, Dirk, and Kobe? Because in that span those are the guys who have led their team's to championships. You put a contender around melo and he *can* go win you a championship. Easier said than done by any one. When you can lead a team to one of the final four teams I'd say you deserve more credit than to be called a failure.
Mar 25 2014 04:58 AM
LakersGAFantheres 3 guys in SA a few guys in Detroit, a big guy named Shaq and the city of Boston that would think differently. Melo was a rook in 2003. 11 years running.
Mar 25 2014 09:33 AM
MrRJThe city of boston? You mean those 3 guys who couldn't win until they got together? Sounds about right. Melo's best team was that 2009 team. Great coach, great PG, great supporting cast. And the came up just short against the world champs. These teams the knicks have put together have been pure garbage.

I recently found a signet ring belonging to my grandfather. It is some sort of black stone with a roman soldier engraved in it.
He wore the ring on his left hand and am wondering if there is some cultural signifiance or just that he chose to wear it because he liked it.
He came from the town of Scala Coeli, Calabria and was born in 1884.
Thanks in advance.
