Nutritionist: a professional who is mainly engaged in nutrition guidance, dissemination of nutrition and food safety knowledge, and promotion of public health. A dietitian refers to a practitioner with professional knowledge and skills in nutrition and dietary nutrition. Nutritionists can use the knowledge of nutrition science to independently engage in diet management, nutrition support and guidance of individuals or groups under health or disease conditions. At the end of 20 16, the national qualification certificate of public nutritionists was cancelled, and there are only certificates in the industry at present.
The main work includes: evaluating human nutritional status, managing and guiding dietary nutritional evaluation, managing and guiding nutritional evaluation of food and formula, consulting and publicizing nutritional knowledge.
In the United States, where medical conditions are developed, the treatment of hospitalized patients must be attended by nutritionists; Japan, a neighboring country separated by water, has/kloc-0 nutritionists for every 300 people, and the number of nutritionists is 2.4 times that of clinicians; According to the proportion of Japanese nutritionists, the gap of health management talents in China is as high as100000. It can be seen that the gap of nutritionists in China is still very large.
What is the employment situation of public dietitians in 2020?
At present, the public dietitian examination in China has been cancelled, but no matter how the examination policy changes, the dietitian industry is one of the industries with great potential for future development, because with the continuous progress of society, people's demand for dietitians is gradually increasing, but at present, professional dietitians in China are scarce, resulting in a job market in short supply, so the employment of dietitians is very easy and the salary is considerable.
Where do public nutritionists usually work?
Dietitians have a wide range of employment, generally including catering and food, health care, education and consultation. We can choose to become corporate nutritionists in enterprises, such as some health care industries or food industries, or apply to be nutrition lecturers in schools and education and training departments, or become private nutritionists.
No matter what kind of employment, the salary is considerable. The annual fee of family nutrition consultants reaches 8,000 yuan, while the annual fee of enterprise nutrition consultants reaches about 60,000 yuan. This is just the salary of a part-time consultant. If you are a full-time dietitian, it is normal to earn more than 100 thousand yuan a year. Moreover, the working environment and conditions of nutritionists are very superior, which is unmatched by many jobs. It is very suitable for friends who are interested in nutrition and want to achieve personal development in nutrition!
