It is easy to check if RD is licensed in their state by going to the state

licensing board website.

You'll find that information in the CDR website as a service to employers.

You have to have the registration number to find out if it's valid or not.

w/o that and with just name you can't find anyone. At least I have not been

able to, and I have always checked credentials prior to employment

interview.

I know about this one. But I think there should be a way for the pubpiic to find

that out. Not everybody feeling comfortable to ask for credentials. RD# could

be available for employers as they request this info in the hiring process.

Client would not have access to this # unless they ask, and I know I would not

feel comfortable to ask my MD (to RD, if i was looking for one) for his/her

Lic#.It should be available more easily.

MDs' credentials are easily found with name and city/state only.

It's my opinion also, Merav. Having to ask for the reg number instead of

being able to access from a directory is not convenient to the public, or to

anyone else for that matter.

Well, Digna, as occasionally before - we can always agree to disagree.

the public would never have access to a registration number, but when they make

appointment, they know the name of practitioner and his/her location. If this

service is available to verify MDs, why not us? Shouldn't we allow the pubic to

verify our credentials and specilties, and by that we could separate ourselves

from those who are not, but calling themselves " nutritionists " ?

I don't think this info should be availble to employers only.

True, at least from what I know of the State of New York, But this is

different. A. Not all states have licensure B. In a state like NY, there is the

CD-N but is not equivalent to the RD. I am not sure if it equivalent to the LD

that is available in those states that have licensure. Is it?For me it is ,

again, if comparing to MDs:RD = Board certification, which is nationally

accepted, and then in addition, the MD needs to be licensed in the state of

practice, but first of all, you want the MD to be Board certified.BTW - did you

know that in the State of NY you don't have to be board certified to practice

medicine ? I will never choose an MD who is not board cert. But that's me

I'm so sorry you have bad news. Being so far away and having family and

friends there must be nervewracking at times. I thought it was rather

humorous and figured, oh well, Merav is just in the mood to argue w me
