How is registered dietician as a career ?

I read that I need to first obtain a Food and nutritions degree from Ryerson, Brescia or Guelph (I am in Toronto) then do either the Master degree or be on internship for some time before I can take the professional test.

A couple of questions, which of the three universities is the best for Food and Nutritions and potentially lead to a higher chance in getting an internship ?

Thank you in advance.

But to answer your question, it depends on what area of dietetics you want to go into... clinical? Public health/policy? Management/Business/Food service? etc. Look at the dietitians of canada website as well as the regulatory body's website to get an idea of scope of practice, different careers, specific needs for qualification etc.

You CANNOT become a RD without graduating from a DC accredited bachlors program (in Ont that's Ryerson, Guelph and Western). You are barred from applying for any RD internship or integrated masters without the accredited bachlors program (as in you can throw money on the applications if you want but you will automatically be screened out).
