fellowship affairsContinuing ProfessionalDevelopment: Planningfor your futureContinuing Professional Development(CPD) concerns us all. As a profession, weare committed to providing the highestquality of safe and effective patient care.With the rate of change of knowledge in ourdiscipline it is essential that we continueto learn, refine and develop our skillsthroughout our professional life.The College, recognising the importanceof CPD, mandated the new ANZCA CPDprogram in January, 2009. There aresome inevitable problems associated withmandating an activity across a profession.Importantly, it has to be recognised thatthere are two roles of a CPD program andthey may not sit entirely comfortablytogether but clearly the net position is apositive one for both the individualand the profession.In designing the ANZCA CPD program,there have been two major considerations:• How do we design a program that willsupport all specialist anaesthetists tomaintain the highest possible standardsof patient care over a lifetime ofprofessional practice?• How can we ensure that this programis both flexible in meeting the needsof a diverse workforce and rigorous inensuring that standards are maintained?Professor Phillips summarised that “thenew CPD program caters for non-clinicians,including people in administration, research,teaching, overseas aid as well as clinicians.It can also be used by Fellows who are justplain retired”. He found the completionof the program requirements to berelatively straightforward.CPD is not (and should not) be limitedto learning a relatively narrow range ofskills and knowledge for your clinicalpractice. This is important but it fails toacknowledge the broad framework in whichwe practice our professional trade. TheANZCA curriculum framework adopts theCanMEDS framework and this may be auseful way to conceptualise the areas wherewe could focus for CPD. For example, itmay include any activity that develops yourskills to undertake the entire scope of yourwork commitments, for example:• Knowledge (specific areas to update ornew information to learn)• Procedural skills (specific skills to updateor new skills to learn)• Developing your teaching andeducational skills (this could includeeducation research or leadership as wellas more traditional delivery of teaching)• Clinical problem solving• Responding to clinical emergencies• Communicating effectively with patientsand colleagues• Handling conflict in the workplace• Management of work and time• Organisation and teamwork skills• Change management• Engaging effectively in clinical qualityassurance activities and auditThere has been growing support for theparticipation in a CPD program and this canbe seen in the latest communiqué from theAustralian Health Workforce MinisterialCouncil on May 8 (see www.nhwt.gov.au).The new ANZCA CPD program is theway of the future. It is seen as one of themost intuitive and structurally soundprograms, and 68% of the Fellowship havecommenced their program and found itto be flexible to their needs and easy toachieve the required credits. As highlightedby one of the participating Fellows: “It looksgood in that it is personalised learning withobjectives and getting the individual toreflect on what has been done. The toolkitsare crucial. We will now have to get out ofour comfort zone and adjust to thenew program.”Participation in the ANZCA CPD programinvolves the following components:• CPD is a three-year program based oncalendar years;• Participation is via the online portfolio oroffline portfolio;• In the first year of the triennium you needto develop a CPD plan;• Over the three years you need to obtain:- 30 credits in Category 1, GroupLearning Activities;- 30 credits in Category 2,Self Learning Activities;- 30 credits in Category 3,Practice Assessment Activities;- An additional 30 credits from any of theabove three Categories or Category 4,Educational Development Activities;• In the last year of the triennium youneed to evaluate your activities about thelearning objectives you set out in yourCPD plan.There are a number of benefits toparticipants of the revised program.These include:• You will be able to print out a Statementof Participation whenever you requireone;• Activities can be targeted to meet yourspecific learning needs;• With the introduction of a three-yearprogram, credits can be carried overbetween the years within the triennium,• A broad range of activities can beincluded in the program.ANZCA staff can provide assistance andanswer any questions.
