Welcome to the Medical Nutrition Practice Group Web site!

The Medical Nutrition Practice Group (MNPG), a dietetic practice group of the American Dietetic Association, serves over 1800 members of the American Dietetic Association who are committed to providing expert nutrition care. If you need to keep up-to-date in all areas of nutrition, we are the practice group for you.

MNPG offers its members two sub-units:  The Dietitians in Gluten Intolerance Diseases (DIGID) sub-unit for members who are interested in celiac disease and other conditions requiring a gluten-free diet and The Dietitians in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (DPM&R) sub-unit for members who are interested in the support, counseling, and education for physically impaired clientele.
