Who can use our CPE activities for their certification? I'm an RD/RDN & CDCES, can I use my activity for both associations? How long do you keep my information on file? Can I share a self-study activity with others? When do the activities expire? Can I buy your activities without the continuing education credits? Can I return activities I don't want or don't need? What is included in each Continuing Professional Education activity? Our hard copy CPE activities consist of a book & study guide or a manual. Each study guide or manual has an Examination, an Answer Key, Explanations to the Questions, a Reflection Tool, and a Continuing Professional Education Reporting Form that you will submit to us so that we can provide you with your Certificate of Completion. Each activity comes with everything needed for one person to complete the activity. If you already have the book that comes with a CPE activity, you will need to purchase a study guide which will include a Continuing Professional Education Reporting Form so that you can receive credit. Please note that a Continuing Professional Education Reporting Form is not the test to complete the activity. You will need to call our office to place your order for the study guide. Who can use our CPE activities for their certification? Registered Dietitians (RDs/RDNs) and Dietary Technicians Registered (DTRs/NDTRs) In support of improving patient care, Great Valley Publishing Company (publisher of Wolf Rinke Associates), is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. Great Valley Publishing Company’s continuing education activities also award credit for dietetics (CDR CPEU). RDs and DTRs are to select activity type 102, "Activities Offered by Jointly Accredited Providers," in their CDR Activity Log. Sphere and Competency selection is at the learner’s discretion. Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) The Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education (CBDCE) recognizes and accepts CPE credits that are “applicable to diabetes” and provided by CBDCE Recognized Continuing Education Providers. Because Great Valley Publishing Company (GVP; publisher of Today’s Dietitian Magazine) is a jointly accredited provider, CPE activities offered by GVP are approved for CDCES', provided that the activities are applicable to diabetes. The CBDCE considers all topics contained in its Certification Examination Content Outline to be applicable to diabetes, and CDCES' should refer to it for further guidance. Others I'm an RD & CDCES, can I use my activity for both associations? You can use the same activity for both CDR & CBDCE as long as it is a program that is from our list of activities accepted by CBDCE, because ALL of our activities are accepted by CDR. IMPORTANT: You will receive 1 certificate only. The certificate you will receive will state that the activity is approved by CDR. I didn't download the Free Ethics eActivity right away, what do I do now? Is there a way I can still get it? You can download the FREE Ethics eActivity as often as you like. Please follow instructions in the activity to submit your reporting form in order to get a Certificate of Completion. This activity is electronic and is not available in hard copy format. It is not for sale. How long do you keep my information on file? We will keep your records for 7 years. You can email or call us to check on your credits or to find out which activities you have done in the past. Can I share a self-study activity with others? Yes! To take advantage of our Share with a Friend and SAVE program, purchase one "Hard Copy" self-study activity plus extra Continuing Professional Education Reporting

the full number of credits, and there is no limit on the number of
