No, nutritionists are not doctors with MBBS degree. she is a dietary consultant which can be with a masters degree or even a Ph.D.. i myself have done my masters in Food Science & Nutrition. We can do an internship in a hospital and become dietecians or nutritionists. We have a fair knowledge about diseases and human physiology but cannot be called doctor unless with a Ph.D.

Thank you for the response.
On topic , I believe In India they cannot be called as Doctors . But Physiotherapist can be referred as Doctors as per the regulations of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists.
