Oklahoma Licensure Law
In 1999 Oklahoma amended its statutes and passed a licensure law - Registered Dietitian Act - which regulates and defines the scope of practice in dietetics. An individual must be licensed as a dietitian within the state to practice dietetics.Dietetics means the professional discipline of applying and integrating scientific principles of nutrition pursuant to different health, social, cultural, physical, psychological, and economic conditions to the proper nourishment, care, and education of individuals or groups throughout the life cycle.
No exemptions or details of exemptions could be found.
SINCE THIS STATE HAS LICENSURE LAWS, AND DETAILS OF EXEMPTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO PROVIDE NUTRITION SERVICES AND IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT NONLICENSED INDIVIDUALS CONSULT WITH A DIETITIAN BEFORE PROVIDING ANY NUTRITION SERVICES.
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.
