title: Evaluation of a continuing professional education opportunity via an on-line service.
abstract: Registered Dietitians (RDs) who are members of the on-line service America Online have the opportunity to participate in regular journal club sessions for continuing education credits. A survey conducted after the first six months found that most participants found the journal club to be a convenient way to network with RDs from across the country and earn continuing education credits which compared favorably with traditional journal club meetings.
