Dietary Management

Dietary Management

Dietary Managers specialize in providing optimum nutritional care through foodservice management. They work in hospitals, long-term care, schools, correctional facilities, and other non-commercial foodservice settings. Dietary managers are certified by the Dietary Managers Association (DMA), a national not-for-profit association.

In order to become a dietary manager, applicants must have a composite of education and experience that will allow them to take the [http://www.dmaonline.org/certification/examinfo.html Certified Dietary Manager Exam.] The education and experience, along with passing the certification exam, certify Dietary Managers.

Dietary Manager Training

A Dietary Manager Training Program consists of a minimum of 120 hours of distance education or classroom hours and a minimum of 150 hours of field experience. A Registered Dietitian oversees the entire field experience process.
