Explain therapeutic  nutrition

This necessitates dietitian's possessing a wide variety of skills. Beyond the technical knowledge and practical skills dietitians needs to have communication and education skill (both oral and written), since they may be expected to plan, organize, implement and evaluate nutrition education for individuals, clients and groups.

In  all of  this  the  dietitian's  involvement  is  not only  in  therapeutic  nutrition  i.e. rehabilitation  but  also  health promotion  and  health maintenance. High-ranking competencies are needed to apply skills in communicating scientific information at a level appropriate to different audience. A good professional dietitian should also have the  ability  to  select  and/or  develop nutrition education materials  and  approaches appropriate for a variety of  target groups
