PEI College of Dietitians of Prince Edward Island

For new graduates of an accredited dietetic practical training program in Canada who are planning on practicing in Prince Edward Island, an application for Dietitian Candidate registration with College of Dietitians of Prince Edward Island (CDPEI) is required.

Dietitian Candidate registration is for those who meet all requirements except for passing the Canadian Dietetic Registration Examination (CDRE). This allows you to work in Prince Edward Island as a Dietitian Candidate, with mentorship. Registration as an RD Candidate is valid until 8 weeks after writing the CDRE or until the results are available, whichever comes first. For more information on mentorship see the Dietitian Candidate Welcome Letter.

Once registered, you may use the title Registered Dietitian (Candidate) and initials RD (Candidate).
