ANZCA and FPM CPD Program
In order to ensure every patient in Australia and New Zealand receives cutting edge care, all specialist anaesthetists and specialist pain medicine physicians are required to participate in a continuing professional development (CPD) program.
ANZCA President Dr Chris Cokis explains the updates to our CPD program in 2023 and beyond.
Access to our world-leading online CPD program is free for fellows, and available to other registered medical practitioners for an annual fee.
Updated in 2023, our CPD program is accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC), and authorised by the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ). It operates on an annual cycle, with minimum hourly and activity requirements.
Participants record, monitor and provide evidence of their completed CPD activities conveniently through the online CPD portfolio, under the categories of practice evaluation, knowledge and skills and emergency response. We also provide a wide range of e-learning resources, courses, events, podcasts, webinars, and workshops to help CPD participants meet their requirements.
