COURSE LIST AND DESCRIPTION
PREVENTION OF MEDICAL ERRORS ($24.00)
All licensed Florida health care practitioners, including Dietitians and Nutrition
Counselors, must take a two (2) hour course in Prevention of Medical Errors, both
upon initial licensure and each biennium. The State of Florida Dietetics and
Nutrition Practice Council has passed a rule which allows its licensees to take a
Prevention of Medical Errors course which has been approved by any Board within the
Division of Medical Quality Assurance of the Department of Health. Our course has
been approved by the Board
of Occupational Therapy Practice. See our Frequently
Asked Questions page, and the Website for the Dietetics
and Nutrition Practice Council.
HIV/AIDS course (Law has changed. Our three (3)hour course will be available soon)
Effective July 1, 2006 the HIV/AIDS course is no longer a mandatory course that
licensees must take each biennium. The new law provides that dietitians/nutritionists
will not be required to complete a course on HIV/AIDS before licensure. However, new
licensees must take a three-hour HIV/AIDS course prior to first renewal of the
license. Once the new licensee has taken that course, he or she does not have to take
the course again, unless the law changes. The course can still be taken as an
elective. The Council rules allow licensees to take an HIV/AIDS courses if the course
has been approved by any other Health Care Board. Our courses have been approved by
the Board
of Occupational Therapy Practice. Our courses include special reference
materials for Dietitians and Nutrition Counselors. See our Frequently
Asked Questions page, and the Website for the Dietetics
and Nutrition Practice Council for detailed information on this change to the law. We will be offering a new 3-hour course soon.
