Abstract
The updated Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPP) provide a framework for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) in sports and human performance.
- The SOP outlines the Nutrition Care Process and clinical workflow for delivering nutrition care tailored to athletic and professional populations.
- Three levels of practice are identified: competent, proficient, and expert.
- The SOPP includes six domains focusing on professional performance: Quality in Practice, Competence and Accountability, Provision of Services, Application of Research, Communication and Application of Knowledge, and Utilization and Management of Resources.
- Specific indicators within the SOP and SOPP illustrate how these standards can be applied in practice.
- These resources serve as tools for RDNs to evaluate their competencies and identify educational needs for advancement.
