Continuing Education



To maintain your registration with the College of Dietitians of PEI, it is required for general members to submit a continuing education record annually.
Continuing Education (CE) Requirements
  1. Continuing education requirements are 30 credit hours of CE per 3-year period (prorated for new members). Many registrants aim for 10 credit hours each year to meet requirements 
  2. One Category K: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion activity each year 
  3. Activities in two or more CE categories each year 
Continuing Education Audits
  • 20% of continuing education records are audited each year. Audits are chosen at random. 
  • It is advised to keep CE supporting documents (certificates, slide decks, notes, agendas etc) for three years after submission, as they may be needed in case of an audit to provide additional details. 
  • To be considered for dietetic continuing education credit hours, the activity must relate clearly and directly to the actual practice of dietetics. 
Continuing Education Record Guidelines:
  • Submit only the CE Record Form – no supporting documents. See Audit section above for details. 
  • Using the CE Record Form, document your educational activities you have participated in since February 28 of the current registration year. The Continuing Education Activity Guide outlines the various types of activities and associated codes.
Complete the CE Record Form as follows:
  • Column 1: Record the date you completed the CE activity/event 
  • Column 2: Indicate the code that corresponds to the CE activity/event - Please note code changes 
  • Column 3: Provide a brief description of the CE activity/event 
  • Column 4: Record the total time (not credit hours), in hours, spent on each activity/event. If it is a course or conference, this amount of time should represent the amount of time in sessions or lectures and not include lunch or coffee breaks.
