CPD for Fellows
The College’s Te Whanake CPD programme is for vocationally registered doctors in general practice and rural hospital medicine in New Zealand.
Participating in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ensures that College members can maintain an Annual Practicing Certificate and comply with the Medical Council of New Zealand’s recertification requirements for medical practitioners.
Members can find endorsed seminars, workshops, and courses on our events calendar. We also have resources to help members complete CPD.
Apply for College endorsement for your medical education activities including clinical guidance.
