Continuing Professional Development
The Board resolved in May 2003 that participation in a Continuing Professional Development Program become mandatory for all Fellows of the Faculty of Pain Medicine effective from 2004.
While Fellows in New Zealand and New South Wales already have mandatory CPD as a requirement of their continued registration with their respective Medical Boards, it was felt appropriate to introduce this requirement for all Fellows.
The Faculty’s commitment to continuing professional development will be shown by the participation of Fellows in its various programs. Fellows can complete the CPD Program of either their primary specialty College and/or the ANZCA/FPM CPD Program.
The ANZCA/FPM Continuing Professional Development (CPD) has been devised to promote and implement proven and accepted educational standards, strategies and tools to assist Fellows to plan and participate in CPD activities that meet their learning needs, to improve their practice. This program replaces the ANZCA/FPM MOPS Program.
The following will be of use to Fellows:
