Ms.Smith

To qualify, you need to be a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) or a Registered Dietitian (RD) registered with the Commission on Dietetic Registration. There are exceptions for certain levels if you don’t have the RDN/RD credential yet.

Non-credentialed Dietitians can be appointed temporarily for up to one year at the GS-07 or GS-09 level, but they need to meet specific educational requirements and can’t be promoted until they obtain their RDN credential.
