Do you know about the CPD changes for DiTs?
The Medical Board of Australia (MBA) new CPD standard takes effect in January 2023 and all doctors are encouraged to have a CPD home by January 2023 (although this is not required until 2024). Because the timeline for accrediting CPD homes is short, the MBA has created some flexibility in the lead up to implementation.
For doctors in training this means:
Interns and PGY2 can:
-
participate in the supervised training and education programs associated with your position. No extra CPD is required.
Prevocational and unaccredited trainees (PGY3 +) can:
-
join a CPD home and meet its CPD requirements OR
-
keep doing what you’re doing until January 2024 – i.e.: meet the MBA 2016 registration standard by participating in the supervised training and education programs associated with your position.
Accredited specialist trainees can:
-
participate in their specialist training program. No extra CPD is required.
We’ll be providing regular updates. For more information on the changes the MBA will be introducing to strengthen CPD visit here.
