Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

Continuous medical education and professional development are essential in keeping the standard of our medical practice. Starting from 2008, HKCOG will implement an integrated CME/CPD programme.

Activities that can be accredited CME/CPD points include:

• Self-study
• Attending College-approved activities (Passive Participation)
• Lecturing in College-approved activities (Active Participation)
• Publication in journals and textbooks
• Research
• Development of new technologies or services
• Participation in College's examination
• Quality assurance and Audit Activities
• Mortality and Morbidity meetings
• Development of CME/CPD materials
• Activities for Improvement of Patient Cares
• Grand rounds in training units

However, Undergraduate and Postgraduate teaching may not be accepted as a form of CME/CPD.

The minimum requirement is 90 points per 3-year cycle. For Academy Fellows who have obtained less than 60 points with a cycle without acceptable reasons, a recommendation for Academy Fellowship suspension will be made.

For more detail of the programme, please download the principles and guidelines on CME/CPD endorsed by the HKCOG Council on 19 July 2007 and HKAM Council on 16 August 2007.
