There are many opportunities for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) to receive nutrition training in pediatrics, including children with special health care needs. Both initial and ongoing training and continuing education are important for RDNs to maintain competency in this specialty.
Opportunities to enhance skills and knowledge include workshops and conferences, training programs funded by the Maternal Child Health Bureau of Health and Human Services (some of these connected to advanced degrees), and web-based learning modules.
