Some activities relating to teaching and supervision can be recognised as CPD. Activities that advance your knowledge and skills including reflection through interaction with a colleague, deconstructing clinical decisions, sharing and testing ideas and skills and evaluating your own performance or practice are examples of CPD that may be related to your work and that can contribute to your CPD requirement across the appropriate activity type(s).
This applies to GPs who are examiners, lecturers, teachers, assessors or those who develop and review educational content, for organisations like the RACGP, a university, or any other education provider. Research and development of clinical resources also counts as CPD. Access our policies and guidelines for further information.
You might be a committee member, advocate, academic or researcher, some of the activities related to these roles will contribute to your CPD hours. You can decide how you allocate the hours across the activity types, depending on what it is you do. Refer to the Activities for your CPD for guidance.
Please note if any of the work you do is for the RACGP (either as a staff member or via a Statement of Works), your CPD hours will be uploaded for you.
You may spend more hours in these roles than what we upload for you as per our guidelines. The MBA requires medical practitioners to undertake a variety of CPD to meet their requirements, rather than have all CPD requirements met by completing one activity.
