50,000 FREE CEUs AND COUNTING
I’m proud to have provided over 50,000 free CEU activities through the Sound Bites® Podcast—helping fellow nutrition professionals stay informed, inspired, and credentialed. Many of these CEUs continue to be offered completely free!
In order to keep offering high-quality, relevant learning activities, I’m currently experimenting with a nominal $5 fee for select new CEU activities. This small charge helps cover the behind-the-scenes work required to bring these CEUs to life, and supports the continued development of meaningful, evidence-based content.
Browse below for both free and highly affordable CEU offerings. And if you'd like to complete a year's worth of CEUs with a single quiz and certificate, check out my 15 CEU Course!
AVAILABLE COURSES
These episodes have been approved by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) for registered dietitian nutritionists and dietetic technicians, registered. For activities approved after 4/1/24 the type of activity is 741 Prior Approved Enduring. For activities approved prior to 4/1/24 the type is Self Study Activity: 700 Audio-Based. You should be able to determine which type to record in your portfolio based on the options to choose from.
For Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCESs): To satisfy the requirement for renewal of certification by continuing education for the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE), continuing education activities must be diabetes related and approved by a provider on the CBDCE List of Recognized Providers. CBDCE does not approve continuing education. The Sound Bites® Podcast is accredited/approved by The Commission on Dietetic Registration which is on the CBDCE List of Recognized Providers.
These episodes offer free or low cost CEUs for a variety of performance indicators. Some of the episodes include one ethics performance indicator and therefore count towards CDR’s ethics CEU requirement. Please note that CDR changes the performance indicators from time to time so the PIs listed for any given activity reflect the PIs that were current on the date of approval and may not match the PIs that are current when the activity was taken. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) and Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) are not responsible for the provider’s interpretation of the Academy/CDR Code of Ethics for the Nutrition and Dietetics Profession or its enforcement as it relates to the scenarios and content presented in this activity.
