Welcome to the Website of the
Chattanooga District Dietetic Association
The Chattanooga District Dietetic Association (CDDA) is a group of food and nutrition experts.
Most of our members are Registered Dietitians (RD). We also include students and/or interns who
are studying to become a Registered Dietitian (RD). Members of CDDA are also members of the Tennessee Dietetic Association and the American Dietetic Association.
A Registered Dietitian (RD) has obtained a B.S. in the field of Nutrition and Dietetics and met the academic
requirements, field work and successfully passed the registration examination required by the
Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
RD's are licensed by the State of Tennessee to provide expert food and nutrition advice, information and
consultative care. RD's are trained to translate scientific, evidence based research into food and nutrition practice settings such as - hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, research labs, public health clinics, health and wellness
facilities, grocery stores, universities, food and nutrition programs for school age children and for sports teams.
