How can I attract RACGP QA&CPD points with check?

• Each check unit attracts 6 Category 2 points. Complete the unit and answer 10 MCQs. A pass is 8/10. Points are awarded automatically after the unit is completed online
• ALMs related to each check activity attract 40 Category 1 points. You will need to provide evidence of completing all ALM requirements. Points are awarded automatically after a medical educator confirms satisfactory completion.

Other QA&CPD activities

The check Program coupled with the resources can form the basis of discussions for small group learning (SGL) or supervised clinical attachment (SCA) activities with GPs in their practice or with specialists/allied health workers in their local area.
