They are registered dieticians, and they focus on helping to implement strategies for a community or for a large organization that will improve the nutrition of the population, and thus have a positive influence on that population's health and wellbeing. 3, record 16, English, - public%20health%20dietitian

Les titres de diététiste et de nutritionniste sont deux titres réservés qui représentent une même profession. Seuls les membres de l'Ordre professionnel des diététistes du Québec peuvent porter les titres réservés de diététiste, de nutritionniste ou de diététicienne (titre désuet mais toujours réservé). En effet, l'article 36 c) du Code des professions stipule que nul ne peut de quelque façon : utiliser le titre de «diététiste», de «diététicien», ou de «nutritionniste», ni un titre ou une abréviation pouvant laisser croire qu'il l'est, ou s'attribuer des initiales pouvant laisser croire qu'il l'est ou les initiales «Dt.P.», «P.Dt.» ou «R.D.», s'il n'est titulaire d'un permis valide à cette fin et s'il n'est inscrit au tableau de l'ordre professionnel des diététistes du Québec. 2, record 18, French, - di%C3%A9t%C3%A9tiste

Comme pour les autres professionnels de la santé, les diététistes doivent être inscrits à une organisation de réglementation provinciale pour pratiquer.
