This survey explored CE activities that Canadian dietitians value to facilitate knowledge acquisition (KA) and practice change.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: A convenience sample of Canadian dietitians providing direct patient care was invited to complete a 25-question online cross-sectional survey. Responses were analyzed in aggregate with descriptive statistics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Dietitians (428\/4667, 9.2%) from diverse care settings across Canada responded to the survey. Participation was most frequently \u201cless often than ideal\u201d for in-person CE (74.7%) and \u201cas often as ideal\u201d for virtual (50.7%). Prerecorded videos (91%) and live virtual presentations (87%) were the most frequent CE in which registered dietitians (RDs) had participated in at least once in the preceding 12 months. In-person sessions were perceived as most effective for KA (hands-on) and to enable practice change (hands-on or didactic). Reported CE barriers included cost (68% of respondents), scheduling (60%), and location (51%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Findings suggest opportunities to improve CE participation. Canadian dietitians value in-person interaction but encounter barriers to participation. Despite being perceived as most effective, hands-on sessions were among the least frequently attended modes of CE, while virtual CE had the highest rates of participation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2026-019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]],"date-time":"2026-10-05T18:06:55Z","timestamp":1791223615000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dietitian Views on Continuing Education Activities \u2013 A Canadian Survey"],"prefix":"10.3148","author":[{"suffix":"MSc","given":"Lauren","family":"Murch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Health Science Canada, North York, ON"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"PhD","given":"Janet","family":"Madill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Western Ontario, London, ON"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"MSc","given":"Cindy","family":"Steel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nestl\u00e9 Health Science Canada, North York, ON"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1715","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"refg1\/ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17226\/12704"},{"key":"refg2\/ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD003030.pub3"},{"key":"refg3\/ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/jrsm.2011.110180"},{"key":"refg4\/ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jand.2020.06.124"},{"key":"refg5\/ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2022-006"},{"key":"refg6\/ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2022-002"},{"key":"refg7\/ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TIN.0000000000000278"},{"key":"refg8\/ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.6.3.e34"},{"key":"refg9\/ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2020-012"},{"key":"refg10\/ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ncp.11069"},{"key":"refg11\/ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2021-002"},{"key":"refg12\/ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2025-001"},{"key":"refg13\/ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/cc13867"},{"key":"refg14\/ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/chp.88"},{"key":"refg15\/ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2019-027"},{"key":"refg16\/ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-020-02447-0"},{"key":"refg17\/ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jhn.12132"},{"key":"refg18\/ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2020-010"},{"key":"refg19\/ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2024-018"}],"container-title":["Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/dcjournal.ca\/doi\/pdf\/10.3148\/cjdpr-2026-019","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]],"date-time":"2026-10-05T18:07:05Z","timestamp":1791223625000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/dcjournal.ca\/doi\/10.3148\/cjdpr-2026-019"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Naomi","family":"Cahill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]]},"references-count":19,"alternative-id":["10.3148\/cjdpr-2026-019"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3148\/cjdpr-2026-019","relation":{},"ISSN":["1486-3847","2292-9592"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1486-3847","type":"print"},{"value":"2292-9592","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]]}}}
