Anyone who holds a valid license from the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition can legally practice in North Carolina. Additionally, those who are exempt from the Dietetics Practice Act (NCGS 90-368) can also legally practice. This includes anyone licensed as a health care practitioner under NCGS 90, such as doctors, nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, psychologists, chiropractors, pharmacists, physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, physician assistants, crematory operators, funeral home directors, massage therapists, and industrial hygienists. Besides licensed healthcare practitioners, federal, state and local government employees, herbalists, weight control service providers, those serving in the armed forces, and employees of licensed hospitals are also exempt from the Dietetics Practice Act.
