The
New Jurisprudence Requirement:
In
March 2003 an amendment was added to the continuing education rule
in section 4759-4-04 (D) of the Ohio Administrative Code and specifies:
*** "Beginning in two thousand-five, on odd numbered calendar
years, each applicant for renewal of a license shall report to
the board completion of at least one continuing professional education
unit in board approved education in jurisprudence.
Board approved programs in jurisprudence shall include approved
programs and activities relating to current laws, rules, and regulations
dealing with the practice of dietetics and recent changes that
have occurred to those laws, rules, and regulations. A list of
approved programs and activities will be published by the board
and posted on the board's web-site."
Dietitians
seeking to renew their Ohio licenses during odd-numbered years are
required to provide evidence to the Ohio Board of Dietetics that
they completed at least one continuing professional education unit
from an OBD approved jurisprudence (law) related program.
The
appropriate evidence (which should be attached to the renewal application)
is a copy of a certificate of completion provided by the sponsor
of the program. The certificate should clearly indicate that the
program is approved by the Ohio Board of Dietetics to meet the jurisprudence
requirement, and include the name of the participant, title of the
program, date and location of the program, and be signed by the
provider.
Dietitians
should be careful to complete different programs each time they
submit an approved program to the Board. The same program may not
be submitted twice.
Dietitians
meeting the requirement for the first time may benefit from completing
the first Board approved Home Study Course titled "Ohio
Board of Dietetics Jurisprudence Continuing Education Requirement"
that is available on-line at the Quia web-site www.quia.com/web.
The course explains the jurisprudence requirement, and upon successful
completion of the quiz will provide a certificate that may be used
to meet the jurisprudence requirement. (Please note that dietitians
licensed in Ohio or renewing their licenses since 2003 may have
previously completed this course and should not attempt to submit
it a second time for jurisprudence credit.)
The
following programs have been approved by the Ohio Board of Dietetics
to meet the 2009 Jurisprudence continuing requirement:
