Florida Dietitian (RDN) Continuing Education (CE) Requirements:
Florida Dietitians (RDNs) are required to earn 30 hours of continuing education (CE) each renewal period (every 2 years).
License Renewal: 5/31, odd years
Of the 30 Hours Required for Florida RDN License Renewal:
- 2 hours must be on Preventing Medical Errors (required each renewal)
- 3 hours on HIV/AIDS (required first renewal only)
- Online CE Allowed: 20 hours (10 hours must be live)
- No more than 10 hours in risk management, personal growth, management, and educational techniques per biennium.
First Renewal?
Dietitian’s and Nutritionist’s renewing a license for the first time who were licensed in the second year of the biennium are exempt from the continuing education requirements for that biennium as stated in 64B8-45.001, F.A.C. but they are required to complete 2 hours of medical errors and 3 hours of HIV/AIDS.
“Live” Hours
At least ten (10) of the required hours per biennium must be in person (live) or from interactive, real-time courses. Courses may be web-based or online instruction that allows or requires the licensee to interact in real time with the instructor during the presentation of the program.
Please note: PDR courses are considered “home study” and are limited to 20 hours per renewal.
Home Study Hours
Home study education is independent study and requires a certificate of completion and an examination. Up to twenty (20) hours of credit shall be accepted per biennium for approved home study courses. PDR courses meet the criteria for home study hours.
Note: CE Broker identifies Home Study hours as “Anytime” hours.
