A SCAN dietitian is a Registered Dietitian (RD) with training, expertise and an unmistakable passion for working in the following areas:
* sports nutrition

* passed a national examination
* and must complete complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registered status (similar to other medical professionals)

In addition, SCAN dietitians typically have unique skills and professional experience, such as working with high school and collegiate athletes, Olympians, and professional sports teams, as well as further specialized training in their area(s) of interest, such as being a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE), Certified Athletic Trainer (CAT) or Board Certification as a Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD).
