Document Actions
Dietitians have accrued points as follows:
Of the 1 398 registered dietitians on the database, the average number of CPD points obtained was 50 points, which has decreased steadily from 2002. It is important to note that 100 Community Service Dietitians also accrued points (not compulsory) during 2004. They accrued an average of 32 points (1-100) but only 2% had 50 or more points accrued for the year. Almost 60% of their points were accrued from category 1 activities. Average ethics points accrued was 1.68 for registered dietitians and 1.02 for CSD.
Figure 1 indicates the percentage of dietitians who obtained points in the following categories: have a negative balance, no points, 1-25 points, 26-49 points, 50-99 points and more than 100 points. It is pleasing to note that 54% of dietitians obtained more than the required 50 points.
Figure 3 indicates the distribution of points obtained per category by dietitians, which reflects the number of activities provided. It is important to note the shift that categories 1 and 3 are growing and journal clubs are decreasing.
