NDTR Credential: Frequently Asked Questions -DPD Program Graduates August 2014 What is the new optional NDTR credential? The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Board of Directors has approved the optional use of the credential “Nutrition and Dietetics Technician, Registered” (NDTR) by Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) graduates who successfully complete DTR Pathway III which requires Completion of a Baccalaureate degree granted by a U.S. regionally accredited college/university, or foreign equivalent, and completion of an DPD. After successfully passing the NDTR exam, credentialed individuals will be required to comply with CDR recertification requirements, the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics and the Standards of Practice. In 2015, CDR will conduct a practice audit to differentiate practice parameters of NDTRs (DTRs) and RDNs. The results will provide valuable information about evolving practice roles to inform future deliberations on title, practice role and examination for NDTRs. More information on the NDTR credential will be made available as it is developed. All members and students who are interested in the NDTR credential should visit http://www.cdrnet.org/certifications/registration-eligibility-requirements-fordietetic-technicians. This credentialing model follows the nursing model (the RN examination is open to AS, BS, and MS prepared individuals). Individuals who have earned the DTR credential could choose to retain this credential or adopt the NDTR; those with the four year degree likewise could choose BS-DTR or BS-NDTR. Why is the Academy offering the optional Nutrition and Dietetics Technician, Registered credential? The Board supports this new credentialing option to build upon the existing DTR Pathway III and differentiate between degree levels to obtain the credential Nutrition and Dietetics Technician, Registered (PhD, MS, BS or AS-NDTR). The NDTR provides several advantages, including: • maintaining the integrity of current professional designations (RDN, RD, NDTR, DTR) providing a timely opportunity for eligible DPD graduates to become certified and to remain connected to the Academy, and • allowing the Academy to collect and analyze data on the utilization and practice roles of NDTRs. There is an increased awareness of the Academy’s role as a key organization in food and nutrition by media, government agencies, allied health organizations and consumers. For instance, the Academy has noted an increase in the number of media impressions (print, broadcast and electronic) from the Academy’s media outreach activities. Twenty billion media impressions were obtained in 2011, prior to the Academy’s name change; contrasted with 30 billion impressions after the name change from the American Dietetic Association to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics during the first six months of 2012 alone. This provides additional rationale for the incorporation of the word “nutrition” into the DTR credential resulting in the optional NDTR credential. I am not currently a NDTR, how do I find more information about obtaining the NDTR credential? Please visit the CDR website at www.cdrnet.org/certifications/registrationeligibility-requirements for-dietetic-technicians or contact CDR at 1-800-8771600 ext. 4764 or ext. 4781. Does the NDTR have a different meaning than the DTR credential? No. The DTR and NDTR credential have identical meanings and legal trademark definitions. How should the new credential be used for signatures and materials such as business cards? Refer to the credential placement guidelines available at the following link https://www.cdrnet.org/vault/2459/web/files/CredentialPlacementGuidelines.p df Will the CDR registration ID card include NDTR credential? Yes. Effective September 1, 2014 all registration ID cards for newly credentialed NDTRs will reflect both the NDTR and DTR credentials. How does the new NDTR credential fit into the Academy’s ongoing branding and marketing efforts? The Academy is modifying its existing branding marketing efforts to strengthen and differentiate the NDTR. from the association American Dietetic Association/Commission on Dietetic Registration Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics and Process for Consideration of Ethics Issues PREAMBLE The American Dietetic Association (ADA) and its credentialing agency, the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), believe it is in the best interest of the profession and the public it serves to have a Code of Ethics in place that provides guidance to dietetics practitioners in their professional practice and conduct.

PROCESS FOR CONSIDERATION OF ETHICS ISSUES In accordance with ADA’s Code of Ethics, a process has been established for consideration of ethics issues. This process defines the procedure for review of and response to ethics complaints, including hearings, disciplinary action, and appeals. The process was approved on June 2, 2009, by the ADA Board of Directors, the House of Delegates, and the Commission on Dietetic Registration. Committee A three (3)-person committee, comprised of members of ADA and/or CDRcredentialed practitioners, will be appointed to handle all ethics matters. One person will be appointed each year by the president-elect of ADA, the chairperson of CDR, or the speakerelect of the House of Delegates (based on the expired term). Terms of office will be for three (3) years. Terms will be staggered to allow for continuity. The chairship will rotate among the three (3) committee members. The chairship will be awarded to the person moving into the third year of the three (3)-year term of office. The Committee will have authority to consult with subject experts as necessary to conduct its business. The Committee may perform such other educational activities as might be necessary to assist members and credentialed practitioners to understand the Code of Ethics. Ethics Opinions The Committee may issue opinions on ethics issues under the Code of Ethics on its own initiative or in response to a member’s or credentialed practitioner’s request. These opinions will be available to members and credentialed practitioners to guide their conduct, and will also be available to the public. Situations may be factual or hypothetical, but no names will be disclosed. Ethics Cases Preamble. The enforcement procedures are intended to permit a fair resolution of disputes on ethical practices in a manner that protects the rights of individuals while promoting understanding and ethical practice. The Ethics Committee has the authority and flexibility to determine the best way to resolve a dispute, including educational means where appropriate. 1. Complaint A complaint that a member or credentialed practitioner has allegedly violated the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics must be submitted in writing on the appropriate form to the Ethics Committee. The complaint must be made within one (1) year of the date that the complainant (person making complaint) first became aware of the alleged violation or within one (1) year from the issuance of a final decision in an administrative, licensure board, or judicial action involving the facts asserted in the complaint. The complainant need not be a member of ADA nor a practitioner credentialed by CDR. The complaint must contain details on the activities complained of; the basis for complainant’s knowledge of these activities; names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all persons involved or who might have knowledge of the activities; and whether the complaint has been submitted to a court, an administrative body, or a state licensure board. The complaint must also cite the section(s) of the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics allegedly violated. The complaint must be signed and sworn to by the complainant(s). 2. Preliminary Review of Complaint The chair of the Ethics Committee, legal counsel for ADA, and appropriate staff will review the complaint to determine whether all the required information has been submitted by the complainant and whether an ethics question is involved. If a complaint is made regarding an alleged violation of the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics and a similar complaint is already under consideration regarding the same individual by a state licensure board of examiners, an administrative body, or a court of law, the Ethics Committee will not process the complaint until a final decision has been issued. 3. Response If the preliminary review determines that the process should proceed, the ADA staff or chair of August 2009 ● Journal of the AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION 1463 the Ethics Committee will notify the respondent (person against whom the complaint is made) that a complaint has been made. The notice will be sent from the staff via certified mail, return-receipt requested. The respondent will be sent a copy of the complaint, the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics, the Review Process, and the Response to Complaint form. The respondent will have thirty (30) days from receipt of the notification in which to submit a response. The response must be signed and sworn to by the respondent(s). If the Ethics Committee does not receive a response, the chair of the Ethics Committee or his or her designee will contact the respondent by telephone. If contact with the respondent is still not made, a written notice will be sent. Failure to reach the respondent will not prevent the Committee from proceeding with the investigation. The response submitted to the Ethics Committee by the respondent, may, upon request by the complainant, be provided to the complainant following the decision of the Committee. 4. Ethics Committee Review The chair of the Ethics Committee will add the complaint and response to the Committee’s agenda, after consultation with legal counsel and appropriate staff. The complaint and the response will be reviewed by the Ethics Committee. The Committee has broad discretion to determine how to proceed, including, but not limited to, dismissing the complaint, requesting further information from the parties, resolving the case through educational activities, holding a hearing as specified hereafter, or in any other way deemed advisable. The Committee may use experts to assist it in reviewing the complaint and response and determining further action. At the appropriate time, the Ethics Committee will notify the complainant and the respondent of its decision, which may include the Committee’s preliminary opinion with a request that the respondent take certain actions, including, but 1464 August 2009 Volume 109 Number 8 not limited to, successful completion of continuing professional education in designated areas, or supervised practice based on the terms to be set forth by the Committee. The Ethics Committee may also recommend appropriate remedial action to the parties, which if undertaken, would resolve the matter. The Ethics Committee may recommend, in its discretion, that a hearing be held subject to the other provisions of these procedures. 5. Licensure Board Action or Final Judicial or Administrative Action When the Ethics Committee is informed by a state licensure body that a person subject to the Code of Ethics for the Profession of Dietetics has had his or her license suspended or revoked for reasons covered by the Code, the Committee may take appropriate disciplinary action without a formal hearing. When a person has been finally adjudged or has admitted to committing a misdemeanor or felony as specified in Principle 4 of the Code, the Committee may take appropriate disciplinary action without a formal hearing. 6. Hearings A. General Hearings shall be held as determined by the Ethics Committee under the following guidelines. Hearing dates will be established by the chairman of the Ethics Committee. All hearings will be held in Chicago, IL. The Ethics Committee will notify the respondent and the complainant by certified mail, return-receipt requested, of the date, time, and place of the hearing. The respondent may request a copy of the file on the case and will be allowed at least one postponement, provided the request for postponement is received by ADA at least fourteen (14) days before the hearing date. B. Conduct of Hearings The chair of the Ethics Committee will conduct a hearing with appropriate staff and legal counsel present. Individuals who have no conflict of interest will be appointed. In the event that any Ethics Committee member cannot serve on the hearing panel for any reason, a replacement will be appointed by the representative of the original body that made the appointment, either the ADA president, the CDR chairperson, or the speaker of the House of Delegates as appropriate. The parties shall have the right to appear, to present witnesses and evidence, to crossexamine the opposing party and adverse witnesses, and to have legal counsel present. Legal counsel for the parties may advise their clients, but may only participate in the hearings with the permission of the chair. The hearing is the sole opportunity for the participants to present their positions. Three members of the Ethics Committee shall constitute a quorum. Affirmative vote of two thirds (2/3) of the members voting will be required to reach a decision. A transcript will be prepared and will be available to the parties at cost. C. Costs ADA will bear the costs for the Ethics Committee, legal counsel, staff, and any other parties called by ADA. ADA will bear the travel costs and one (1) night’s hotel expenses for the complainant and respondent and one person that each chooses to bring, provided that such person is necessary to the conduct of the hearing as determined by the chair of the Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee shall issue regulations to govern the payment of these expenses, which shall be incorporated and made part of these procedures. The respondent and the complainant will be responsible for all costs and fees incurred in their preparation for and attendance at the hear- ing, except expenses for travel and hotel as stated above. D.

QUESTION 1
Volunteering with your professional organization is one of the best ways to network and give back to your
profession.
Visit this link to learn about volunteer opportunities with the Academy of Nutrition and
Dietetics. http://www.eatrightpro.org/resources/leadership/volunteering/volunteer-opportunities (copy and

For this essay, choose one of the outlined volunteer opportunties, and summarize it here:
What is the opportunity, and why does it interest you? Would you see yourself doing this type of
volunteering in your future career?
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation offers several volunteer opportunities. The one I would be
most interested in participating is the position as a States Fundraising Champion. I would be interested in this
position since I believe that money is an essential part for the Academy to be able of working on the different
projects it does, and it is often a task people seem not to want to do because they’re afraid of fundraising
activities.
I think that with my communication skills, this position would offer me the possibility of convincing more
people about the need to support the projects developed at the Academy. The fundraising position does not
only allow me to raise funds, but most importantly to make the Academy become familiar to people in my
State so that they are aware of the activities it does and can turn to it whenever they need nutritional advice.
