Use of title; advertising. (a) Only a person who is issued a license as a dietitian nutritionist under this Act may use the words "licensed dietitian nutritionist", "dietitian nutritionist", or "dietitian" or the letters "L.D.N." or hold oneself out as qualified or licensed to practice under this Act in connection with his or her name.
