New York Licensure Law
New York has a certification regulation. Under this law persons not certified can still practice the occupation or profession of nutrition, but may not use particular titles, such as dietitian, certified dietitian, or licensed dietitian.HOWEVER, While this state allows non-licensed professionals to provide weight management and nutrition services, it is not recommended - for professional and legal reasons. Nutrition and weight management is beyond the scope of practice for allied health professionals and can result in possible harm to clients. Another serious concern is the possibility of litigation.
FOR THESE REASONS, ALL NUTRITION MANAGER CONSULTANTS SIGN AN AGREEMENT WITH LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES TO CONFER WITH AN AASDN PROFESSIONAL.
Although every attempt has been made to summarize the state licensure statutes, to provide health professionals with accurate statements regarding individual state regulations, Lifestyle Management Associates cannot guarantee that all information is current at all points in time, and cannot guarantee or be held responsible for any misinterpretations of the law. Every attempt has been made to persuade all allied health professionals to associate with registered, licensed dietitians.
