[CPD On Demand] Advance Your CPD Through Effective Supervision

Starting in 2023, the Medical Board of Australia and the Medical Council of New Zealand brought in what were called “Strengthened CPD” requirements. These put more focus on reviewing performance through self-reflection or peer feedback and on auditing outcomes of one’s practice. Within the RACP’s MyCPD Framework, these are described as Category 2 and Category 3 activities, respectively. 

These regulatory requirements have caused consternation for some College members and the feedback has been taken on board from 2024. To help synchronise CPD seamlessly with practice, the value of research and supervision has been elevated. It’s now recognised that the time which goes into data analysis and writeup of research is better reflected under Category 3. Likewise, supervision is more than just an educational activity, as a supervisor can gain insight into their own practice from Trainee feedback that merits Category 2 credit. In this podcast, two of the RACP’s most passionate medical educators explain the changes and offer guidance on efficiently recording supervising activities using the MyCPD tool.
