Students are encouraged to choose study materials that present the material in a way that fits their learning style. Students are also encouraged to use textbooks as reference material in their studying. Most students find that a medical nutrition therapy text, food service systems management text, community or public health nutrition text, and food science text will be sufficient to review exam content.
Once you have finished all coursework, SEL required hours, assignments, and exams, you will be given access to a special course with the rotation specific practice exams. These exams are intended to help you prepare for the RD Exam but should not be your only study materials.
