CTCA Dietitians – Educated, Experienced and Fully Credentialed

Also called nutritionists, dietitians are clinicians who have completed education and training in nutrition. CTCA dietitians have received undergraduate degrees in nutrition and completed internships at a hospital or clinic. Most have also earned graduate degrees in the field, or are in the process of earning this degree.

Our dietitians at Midwestern have passed a national credentialing exam and are licensed in Illinois. Furthermore, most are board certified in nutrition support and are working toward earning board certification in oncology nutrition.
