Four Steps to Seamlessly Switch to the AMA's CPD Home

 

 

In the dynamic world of healthcare, one thing remains constant - the need for continuous professional learning and growth. This is mandatory under the Medical Board of Australia's (MBA) new Registration Standard: Continuing professional development (the Standard), with 50 hours of learning required each year.

If you're a specialist considering the move from your college’s CPD platform to the Australian Medical Association (AMA)’s CPD Home, we have 4 tips for you.

1. Subscribe to CPD Home

Embarking on this transition starts with a simple, yet significant, step - joining and subscribing to AMA’s CPD Home. 

Our digital platform is your gateway to a wealth of resources that resonate with your medical journey. Signing up is designed to be hassle-free, ensuring that you kickstart your CPD journey without any unnecessary roadblocks.

2. Secure your college CPD Statement

Once you're part of the CPD Home community, the next phase involves gathering your essential documents. This includes your CPD Statement for the 2023 year. 

This statement is a treasure trove of insights, highlighting the array of activities you've completed, the educational hours you've invested, and the evaluations that gauge your performance. 

However, it's important to emphasise that this document must be the official PDF statement from your college. This ensures the accuracy and credibility of your transition process.

3. Effortless upload process

Uploading your CPD Statement onto our CPD Home platform has been streamlined through a well-structured template. 

Our platform is tailored to guide you step by step, ensuring your transition is a seamless experience. This template captures the crucial details accurately, minimising any potential hiccups along the way. 

With this step, your CPD history becomes an integral part of the CPD Home ecosystem.

4. Safeguarding supporting evidence

As you complete your diverse CPD activities, it's paramount to keep track of the supporting evidence associated with each learning experience. 

While this evidence doesn't need to be uploaded onto the platform, they play a pivotal role in safeguarding your personal records. They can be an invaluable resource, particularly in scenarios where you might face an audit by the MBA or the AMA's CPD Home. Having your evidence readily accessible ensures you can confidently substantiate your learning journey.
