FREE CPEs for Preceptors

Commitment to Preceptors
Thank you for all you do as preceptors, internship directors, professors. I'd love to hear from you, how we can best support our preceptors and produce high quality graduates who are successful in their education and in passing their credentialing exam, and in go on to improve health in their communities.

One commitment that Garden to Table Nutrition is to support all of our preceptors in their continuing education and building community among dietitians. It is the scarcity of preceptors that makes it hard to create enough internships for all students. 

Sponsorship of DPG Membership
We at Garden to Table Nutrition (GTTN) choose to value and nurture sustainable systems, including the system we use to create new RDNs. To this end, we can sponsor each preceptor’s membership in their local Dietetic Practice Groups by paying their dues (up to $80 per year), in order to assist you in creating connections and keeping current. Please send us a receipt and we will reimburse you. Simply submit a copy of your receipt for CPEs/DPG, including your mailing address, and email it when your intern has finished their rotation with you.

Additional Free CPEs
Additionally, if you weren’t aware, ACEND offers a free Dietetics Preceptor Training Course online which provides eight CPEUs Dietetics Preceptor Training Program. This online training provides each preceptor guidance for preparing and teaching their interns.

And, according to the Academy, preceptors may record a total of 15 CPEUs per 5-year cycle for precepting and/or leadership on their Activity Log. For more information and to obtain the necessary forms, visit the Commission on Dietetic Registration.

Please let us know what we can do to best support you as you precept. You can reach Susie Fox, the director, via the Contact tab.
