FutureNutritionPA Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I’m curious if there are any PA’s who have decided to become nutrition specialists or dieticians. I’m a working PA but also back in graduate school for a degree in nutrition. I would like to someday open my own nutrition practice but wonder if I should be approaching this differently. Should I become a registered dietician instead, even though I’d still bill out as a PA? Or does the type of nutrition degree not really matter since I would still technically be a PA and could just get a general masters degree in nutrition as I am doing? I appreciate any personal experiences with this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They see patients, draw labs, recommend new diets and prescribe meds, supplements, and testosterone, and charge a chunk of cash to do it.. they seem to be pretty popular..
