Creation of
RD Boot Camp
When you were a preschooler, were you able to repeat back nursery rhymes or sing short refrains from children’s songs? Kari Sharp, founder of RD Boot Camp, had difficulty doing both. It wasn’t until she was tested, did her family realize she had an auditory memory problem. She had excellent concentration power, but only when she was interested in what she was learning.
Flash-forward through two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree to the time she had to study for the Registered Dietitian Exam. The only review course she could find online consisted of lectures and lists of facts. BORING! Being a creative person, she conceived and developed a new concept in review courses and named it RD Boot Camp. Just like a gym’s fitness class, she included various methods to tone up your skills. And, she incorporated interesting, real-life situational videos to keep you engaged and to make those necessary-to-learn facts more memorable.

One Mission
RD Boot Camp’s mission is to provide interactive, comprehensive, and up-to-date resources to help you pass the RD exam with confidence.

One Team
A team of professionals were gathered from various disciplines, including nutrition, medicine, education, and marketing to create this interactive RD Exam Prep course.

Many Learning Styles
We’ve been in your shoes so we know what it takes to study for the RD exam. Whatever your learning style, we have a review method to match your needs.
