Maine dietitian and dietetic technician license renewal and continuing education
Maine’s Board of Licensing of Dietetic Practice rule states: “Licensed dietitians shall complete fifteen (15) hours of qualifying continuing education activities during each reporting period as a condition of renewal.” “Licensed dietetic technicians shall complete ten (10) hours of continuing education credits during each reporting period as a condition of renewal.”

Cycle
Licenses expire each year at the end of the calendar year, and the reporting period is that calendar year; hours don’t carry forward (paraphrased).
What counts
“At least four (4) of the required hours shall include participation as required at a sponsored presentation offered by any recognized sponsor”. Recognized sponsors include the Maine Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, CDR, ACEND, ASPEN, and the Maine Nutrition Council (paraphrased). First-time renewals need half the hours (paraphrased).
Required topics
None named. The official source this page quotes sets the CE hours but does not name a required topic (read November 12, 2026). Other state laws can still apply, so confirm with the board before you renew.
Compare states: required CE topics by state.
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.
