The New RACS CPD Programme
The College has recently conducted a major overhaul of the CPD programme. The RACS Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program has been developed to closely align with the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) CPD registration standard and recertification requirements set by the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ).
All active RACS Fellows are required undertake an annual program CPD by participating in the RACS program or an alternative CPD program that is recognised by RACS.
Fellows must meet the all CPD requirements regardless of their practice type. RACS is working to ensure there are sufficient activities available to support surgeons across operative, non-operative and non-clinical settings.
The CPD Program is underpinned by a learning cycle that encourages a structured and reflective approach to lifelong learning. Cultural safety and a focus on health equity are embedded within all recertification activities.
This presentation will cover these issues and allow time for questions.
