Petition against the Professional Development Portfolio
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, disagree with the Commission for Dietetic Registration (CDR) requirement for enforcing the Professional Development Portfolio (PDP) as a requirement for maintaining RD (Registered Dietitian) and DTR (Diet Technician-Registered) re-certification.
As Registered and future Dietitians and Diet Technicians, we understand the need for the CDR to monitor its members and professionals, but we do not believe that the PDP is the correct way to do so for the following reasons:
We are all professionals with different professional goals. The CDR should allow us to achieve those goals without the added burden of ensuring that they follow the portfolio guidelines.
The PDP is very restrictive. We should have the freedom to attend any conference that will help us maintain our credentials or fulfils our professional interest. The PDP lesson plan restricts what seminars/workshops we are allowed to attend.
The CDR should be aware that as professionals we are capable of maintaining a current and updated understanding of our field through experience in the workplace as well as through continuing education. The need for a PDP is unnecessary. In no way will it improve the need for RDs and DTRs to keep current their knowledge of their field of expertise.
As long as all of us have proper credentialing, perform professionally and keep current, there is no need for further monitoring or implementation of unnecessary or restrictive requirements.
In conclusion, we request that the PDP be excluded as a requirement for maintaining ones RD or DTR re-certification.
Sincerely,
The undersigned
