摘要

This study examined differences in demographics and career perceptions between students who indicated their intent to take the Registration Examination for Dietetic Technicians (DTR exam) and those who did not intend to take the exam. A cross-sectional study surveyed first- and second-year students in six associate degree dietetic programs in New York State (n = 284) utilizing a paper and pencil self-administered questionnaire. The majority of students were White (79.8%), female (72.6%), and had no previous college degree (74.7%), with an average age of 25.87 ± 7.98 years. Students in their second year of study and with health-based career interest were more likely than first year students to indicate intent to take the DTR exam (ρ ≤ .05). The majority of respondents (90%) indicated their intent to take the DTR exam, which differs from national data that reports 61% of eligible students take the DTR exam. Education programs should identify methods to encourage eligible students to take the DTR exam and become a credentialed practitioner. Further research should examine the gap of student intent and test taking in this population to maximize the number of credentialed dietetic technicians. A more complete understanding of the educational goals and career perceptions of the associate prepared dietetics student may further identify the validity of the associate degree as an entry point into the profession of dietetics by informing stakeholders on program design, program recruitment, and student career advisement.
