Endorsement of a CPD activity

Apply to have your next educational meeting, conference, workshop or resource endorsed by the RANZCP for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.

Forums, dinner/breakfast meetings, workshops, conferences, seminars and education products such as publications, on-line programs, educational DVDs and education kits may be endorsed, provided they meet the educational criteria of the CPD program.

Educational criteria

The criteria for CPD endorsement are:

Content includes clear and concise learning objectives and intended outcomes for each learning event or activity based on identified needs.
Learning outcomes are relevant to the scope of practice of a specialist psychiatrist and are based on sound clinical and educational principles.
Qualified personnel are involved in planning and conducting each learning activity. If a psychiatrist has not provided advice or other input into the design and delivery of the program, the program must be sponsored or endorsed by a Fellow of the RANZCP.
Procedures established during planning are used to assess achievement of the learning outcomes.
A complete, permanent record of each learner’s attendance and satisfactory completion can be provided upon request.
The activity does not contravene any College policy and / or advocacy statement made.
