Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an essential component of maintaining and enhancing your skills as a medical practitioner. But with so many options available, how do you ensure you're engaging in CPD that’s relevant, impactful, and worth your time?
At CPD Australia, we believe that CPD should be simple, accessible, and directly aligned with your everyday practice. That’s why our platform isn’t prescriptive—we’re not here to tell you what CPD to complete. Instead, we’re here to help you log and track the CPD activities you’re already engaging in as part of your day-to-day work.
Where to Find High-Quality CPD
Whether you’re looking for structured courses, practical workshops, or online resources, there are numerous avenues to find CPD that fits your needs. Here are a few trusted platforms to consider:
- Online resources offering a range of courses and activities tailored to various specialties, such as Med CPD
- Conferences and Workshops: In-person and virtual events often provide excellent learning opportunities while allowing you to network with peers.
- Peer Collaboration: Case discussions, journal clubs, and multidisciplinary team meetings are valuable CPD activities you’re likely already participating in.
