How does the 2022-2024 edition differ from earlier editions?
The Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) reorganized the content of the exam beginning in January 2017 based on the most recent practice audit. The 2022-2024 edition has added topics and updated material based on the new (2022) CDR outline.
Does the manual contain test questions?
No. Our format is a comprehensive book of study notes with information to answer questions however they may be asked.
This manual is used as a text in many dietetic internships while other dietetic educators recommend it as a study guide to help their graduates pass the registration exam. It is in a spiral notebook format so students can mark notes and highlight specific topics for study. This is copyrighted material and it is illegal, and a violation of professional ethics, to copy or transfer any of the manual without permission.
