A medical doctor (MD) is educated, trained, and licensed to practise medicine in Canada. However, an MD typically has limited experience and training in the area of nutrition. MDs should be one of the first health professionals that you see for an accurate medical diagnosis. Registered Dietitians (RD) and Public Health Nutritionists have specific training in nutrition and are qualified to speak about issues relating to food and nutrition. If you are sick and require a dietary plan to treat an illness or disease, most medical doctors will refer you to a RD to assist you in meeting your dietary needs. Thus, doctors should not be our primary source of nutrition information but are essential for providing medical direction and making referrals to those specializing in particular aspects of health, such as Registered Dietitians.
