Dietetics is a challenging, varied career for people who are interested in and enjoy both science and working with people. Clinical dieticians manage food service systems for institutions (such as hospitals and schools). Dieticians in food service management positions supervise large-scale planning and preparation of meals in health care facilities, government departments, company cafeterias, prisons, schools, orphanages and homes for the elderly. Therapeutic dieticians plan special diets for people, based on the doctor"s prescription. Educational dieticians lecture at tertiary learning centres and train catering staff.
