Revised 2021 Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (Competent, Proficient, and Expert) in Sports and Human Performance Nutrition

What are the Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPP)?
• SOP and SOPP are consensus standards for RDNs to use for professional development and to assure competence.
• The standards provide a guide for self-evaluation; determine education and skills needed for advancing practice levels; and may be used by employer or regulatory agencies to determine competence for credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners.

The Revised 2021 Standards of Practice and Standards of Professional Performance for RDNs (Competent, Proficient, and Expert) in Sports and Human Performance is now available in the September edition of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
