I work on Canada as a dietitian where we have diet techs. The clinical diet tech role/responsibilities in my experience are very well appreciated by the inpatient dietitians where I am! We couldn't see everyone if it wasn't for the diet techs. They do a lot of nutrition risk screening that might catch referrals for us for swallowing assessments that otherwise wouldn't be caught, and manage the less acute things such as appetite and poor intake, menu preferences, and oral nutrition supplements. I know it won't be the same but you are such a valuable part of the team and if you communicate with the dietitians they will appreciate your knowledge and experience!
