Florida dietitian and nutritionist license renewal and continuing education
The Florida Department of Health’s dietitian and nutritionist licensing page states: “30 Hours Total are Required for Dietetics and Nutrition”. That is 28 general hours plus 2 hours on prevention of medical errors each biennium (paraphrased).
Quoted from official pages checked November 12, 2026. Confirm current requirements, fees, and dates on those sites. This page is not legal advice and does not guarantee eligibility, certification, or licensure.

Cycle
“The renewal deadline for dietetics/nutritionist is May 31, of the renewal year, every odd year.” CE is reported through CE Broker (paraphrased).
Named courses
Under Rule 64B8-45.001(7), F.A.C., “two hours of the required (30) hours per biennium shall relate to prevention of medical errors”. First-time renewers licensed in the first year of the biennium complete all 30 hours, including 2 on medical errors and 3 on HIV/AIDS; those licensed in the second year are exempt for that biennium (paraphrased).
What counts
Up to 20 hours of home study are accepted each biennium, and no more than 10 hours may be in management, risk management, personal growth, and educational techniques (paraphrased).

What this page does not do
It covers the state dietetics license only, and only what the official page named above says. It does not list fees and does not replace the board’s own instructions. CDR registration is separate; see the RD and DTR overview. Rules change; check the board before you renew.
