Dietitian Boss with Libby Rothschild

Analyzing International Practice Guidelines for Legal Protection for Your Dietitian Business with Lawyer Danielle Liss


Listen Later

In this episode, we address a common question: How can dietitians legally practice across state lines? Our team lawyer, Danielle Liss, provides valuable insights. We discuss working with international clients, considering licensure and international laws, and handling international business considerations.

Danielle Liss clarifies that offering general nutrition education is typically accepted when working internationally, whereas customized or individualized services might require closer scrutiny. We also highlight the importance of specifying time zones in contracts and touch upon legal precautions when working across states.
