2014 ANZCA and FPM CPD Program
From 1 January 2023, the ANZCA and FPM CPD Program is updating to an annual, hours-based program. We are implementing a staged transition process to move all three CPD trienniums to the updated program and this page includes information and resources for those remaining on the 2014 CPD program during the 2023 transition year.
The 2014 CPD program operates on a three-year cycle, beginning on 1 January of the first year and concluding on 31 December of the last. All participants need to complete a CPD plan at the beginning of their triennium, and an evaluation at the end.
If you're practising as a specialist anaesthetist or pain medicine physician in Australia or New Zealand, you need to familiarise yourself with the requirements of the 2014 ANZCA and FPM CPD Standard.
In each section, please use the eye icon for details on CPD activities or relevant information.
