The role of the dietitian has come a long way since the early 1900s. Their role is still unknown to a  lot of people.

The dietitian has a defined role concerning the ethical issues and dilemmas of nutrition care for patients. The dietitian is  the  link between the patient and the medical  team or  physician  in assisting  difficult  decision  making  about  nutrition  care.
