New! Assess & Learn Online Module:

CDR introduced a new Assess & Learn online resource to familiarize dietetics practitioners with the Nutrition Care Process in January 2007. This new module, entitled Managing Type 2 Diabetes Using the Nutrition Care Process is designed to assess what knowledge and skills RDs/DTRs currently have in a particular area, within the context of a case scenario.

In addition to self-assessment tools, learning is facilitated through the following:

• Each multiple choice question is followed by feedback that provides an explanation for why each question option is correct or incorrect, current references and web links for additional information.
• Evidence based nutrition information, current research literature, and existing government disease-specific consensus guidelines and recommendations are used to support various courses of action and care.

The Assess and Learn provides feedback on your performance to assist you in determining current and future learning needs. After completion, you will be able to use your assessment results to complete the learning needs assessment and establish your learning action plan for CDR's Professional Development Portfolio.

The module is approved for 5 CPEUs. The cost is $45.99 for ADA members and RDs/DTRs. This is just over $9.00 per CPEU credit.
