JURISPRUDENCE FAQ
Why do I need to understand jurisprudence?
Dietitians must understand the laws and standards that relate to their practice. Increased awareness will help dietitians to practise within the boundaries of the law and ultimately lead to greater client safety.
Who is required to complete the jurisprudence learning module?
All Dietitians must complete any required jurisprudence learning modules as part of their continuing competence requirements for registration renewal.
When do I need to complete the module?

Will there be a new module each year?
Learning modules are developed in collaboration with other health regulatory colleges in Manitoba. The College will advise dietitians when additional modules must be completed, but we do not anticipate there will be a new module every year.
