ABSTRACT
As noted earlier, in 2001 the Commission on Dietetic Registration decided that recertification of their professionals was to be accomplished through the use of a portfolio model. This approach was novel for the periodic assessment of competence and placed professional accountability for continuing competence at the center of this approach. In preparation for this, the documentation of “sustained performance changes” (p. 612) was central in documenting the value of CPE. The commission recognizes that CPE is an integral part of the portfolio process-and vise versa-and that an ePortfolio can play a critical part in the overall process.
