Professional Membership:

Professional members are those working within the nutrition profession and meet the educational standards appropriate for their role delineation.

Student Membership:

This membership is extended to those who are currently enrolled in an NANP-approved nutrition program or in a nutrition program at an accredited college or university. Proof of enrollment is required along with membership applications.
