Home Education & Training ANZCA and FPM CPD Program Transition to 2023 CPD program

Transition to 2023 CPD program

We have updated the ANZCA and FPM CPD program to reflect revised Medical Board of Australia (MBA) and Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) CPD guidelines. 

We are implementing a staged transition process to move participants in the triennial program’s three cohorts to the annual program. Please see the details below for your individual transition arrangements.
