Welcome to the Connecticut Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics!

As of June 1, 2012, the Connecticut Dietetic Association officially changed its name to the Connecticut Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This is in line with our national organization, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) which changed its name on January 1, 2012. We are a professional organization comprised of over 1,000 Registered Dietitians, Dietetic Technicians-Registered, dietetic students and retirees of the profession. The Connecticut Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is your source for credible food and nutrition information.   Connecticut Academy members work in various settings and areas of practice across the state, including private practice, hospitals, schools, food service, community nutrition, and much more.
