Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is education and training undertaken beyond the requirements for entry into the profession of dietetics. It encompasses one or more of the areas within the scope of dietetic practice, namely therapeutic nutrition, community nutrition and food service administration. Debbi Marais is responsible for the CPD Portfolio on the ADSA Executive Council. As from 1 April 2006 dietitians will have to comply with the new (CPD) system, and Debbi has been working on communicating the new system to ADSA members.
30 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are required per year on any level (**Level 1-3). CEUs have a shelf-life of 24 months which means that each dietitian will have to have 60 CEUs at any given time. No capturing of points will take place and dietitians will have the responsibility to keep their own record of activities attended and CEUs accrued. |
