In India, "Nutritionist" is a title generally used by individuals who have completed comprehensive, long-form programs in human nutrition. As this is a specialized short course, we recommend using it to complement your existing professional titles. The title of "Dietician" is legally reserved for those holding a formal degree in Dietetics; unless you already hold such a degree, we advise against its use.
