Continuing Competence ProgramAs the regulatory authority for dietitians in British Columbia, the CDBC is responsible under the Health Professions Act for establishing and maintaining a Quality Assurance program to promote high practice standards. The Continuing Competence Program (CCP) fulfills this legislative requirement and supports the College's mandate to serve and protect the public. As part of the CDBC Quality Assurance program, Registered Dietitians are required to complete the CCP every three years (annual updates are highly recommended). The CCP requires Dietitians to self assess relative to the CDBC Standards of Practice and, in the third year, submit a Professional Development Plan that includes professional development goals, learning activities and progress to meeting the goals and a description of the goals’ contribution to practice. The CCP is now available in an online format. It was developed in 2010 by Claymore Inc’s SkilSure® software program under the guidance of the College’s Quality Assurance Committee and Board.
