A dietitian is an expert in food and nutrition, and a nutritionist advises patients on matters of nutrition. When your case requires medical analysis or testimony in one of these areas, it’s crucial to find a medical expert witness who is certified and actively practicing in the U.S.
In many jurisdictions, including most U.S. states, the term “nutritionist” isn’t legally protected. Anyone may call him or herself a nutritionist, with no qualifications. By contrast, only those who meet professional requirements may call themselves a dietitian.
Dietitians participate in research, supervise the service and preparation of food, develop modified diets and educate individuals on proper nutrition.
In medical settings, dietitians may provide artificial nutritional needs to patients unable to eat normally. They may also help patients address medical issues by modifying their diets. In some facilities, these experts can obtain, prepare and serve flavorful, nutritious food to patients, family members and health care providers.
To help you build your winning case, a medical expert witness needs more than just professional experience. At AMFS, we prescreen each expert by analyzing more than 20 data points spanning education, experience, medico-legal knowledge and communication skills.
Finding an expert witness can be time-consuming, especially when you’re busy building your case. Many of the most qualified dietitians are only available through expert witness services. These are just a few reasons why more than 20,000 lawyers trust AMFS to find them the best medical expert witness for their case.
