If I have elected to utilize the new Retired Registered Dietitian status offered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, will I be able to renew my license in North Carolina?
Over the past several years the CDR has received numerous inquiries from current and former RDs requesting that CDR establish a Retired Registered status. These individuals felt that the RD credential was very important to them. However, they were no longer practicing dietetics and did not wish to complete recertification requirements. Those electing the Retired Registered status are not required to have CPE hours and CDR does not monitor any hours obtained. According to CDR, they are not allowed to participate in either paid or unpaid dietetics practice. Therefore, those electing the Retired Registered status are not eligible for licensure in North Carolina.
