Dietitian Licensure Compact Updates

The Council of State Governments (CSG) is partnering with the Department of Defense (DoD) and The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) to support the mobility of licensed dietitians through the development of a new interstate compact. This additional licensing pathway will facilitate multistate practice among member states and reduce the barriers to license portability.

SCAND has worked the CSG and the Academy to introduce legislation in South Carolina this year. Stay tuned for more updates.
