Jurisprudence
It is important that all health professionals have an understanding of jurisprudence: the laws and standards that relate to their practice. Many health regulatory colleges have jurisprudence programs to provide education for their registrants and help ensure that they practice within the boundaries of the law. The College of Dietitians has collaborated with several other health regulators in Manitoba to develop shared jurisprudence learning modules. These learning modules are a mandatory component of the CC program and any required modules must be completed by January 31.

- It will take approximately 1½ hours to complete each module.
- It is best to complete the modules at one time. The College is not able to view your responses to the learning activities or quiz within the modules.
- The quiz at the end must be completed. Your score will not be reported to the College.
- A certificate of completion will be displayed once you have completed the quiz. You must save a copy or screenshot of this certificate. If you are selected for audit, you will be required to upload your certificate of completion.
