                                According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, only about 3% of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) hold a terminal degree, highlighting the select group who pursue the highest levels of education. A Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, or DCN in nutrition, is an advanced degree designed for these experienced professionals seeking expert knowledge and leadership roles.
