Key Program Elements
These are the key elements of the CPD Program
- The Program has a three-year cycle, with Fellows submitting annual returns if they wish to receive a Statement of Participation that may be used for Recertification or Credentialing.
- Fellows submit their final triennial return and, if satisfactory, receive a Certificate of Completion.
- Participation is guided by individualized CPD planning, based on each Fellow’s needs, learning style, and chosen activities.
- Learning activities are classified under four readily recognized and understood Categories, each with two Levels of interactivity, the higher one being more effective in learning.
- Fellows select activities that are most appropriate to their plan, learning style, and practice.
- All learning activities relevant to a Fellow’s practice are recognized (and are not limited to those listed in the program).
- Self-reflection and evaluation are important activities.
- Credits are claimed for activities, and are time-based and weighted towards interactive and more effective learning strategies.
- Activities in three Categories must be undertaken, and minimum Credits are required each year.
- The Program accommodates retired Fellows or those in non-clinical practice.
