Dietary Technician Jobs in Detroit, MI

A Dietary Technician plays a crucial role in the nutrition industry by working in tandem with dietitians to plan, implement, and oversee nutritional programs and diets for individuals in healthcare settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics. They evaluate the dietary needs of patients, monitor their food and fluid intake, counsel on nutritional health and dietary habits, and ensure the safety and sanitary preparation of meals. They also manage food service operations and play a pivotal role in educating patients and their families about appropriate diets for their health conditions.

Dietary Technicians should possess strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. They should have an in-depth understanding of nutrition and dietetics, and the ability to translate this knowledge into practical diet plans. They should also have excellent interpersonal skills to effectively interact with patients, staff, and families. In terms of qualifications, a Dietary Technician is required to have an associate's degree in dietetic technology, nutrition, or a related field, and many employers prefer candidates who are certified by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Prior to becoming a Dietary Technician, a person may work as a Dietetic Clerk, Nutrition Assistant, or a Food Service Worker.
