What is the purpose of Verification Statements?
Verification of completion of dietetics programs is the method used by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) to ensure that academic and supervised practice requirements for ADA Membership or Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) eligibility for the Registration Examination for Dietitians and Dietetic Technicians have been met. At various times in preparing for professional membership or registration, an individual will be asked to supply verification of both academic and supervised practice qualifications. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the individual to obtain the appropriate quantity of Verification Statements and to safeguard them until the time they are to be used in various application processes.
