RACS recently launched Continuing Professional Development (CPD) mobile app represents an important step in the College’s commitment to providing Fellows, Specialist International Medical Graduates (SIMG) and CPD subscribers with a best-in-class CPD experience. With the new CPD mobile app users can: • view, add or delete CPD activities • monitor progress against annual CPD requirements • update personal information • store supporting documents. The College anticipates that the app will rapidly become the most popular way for users to access and update their CPD activity. “The CPD mobile app has been built in response to feedback from Fellows about the importance of having access to an easy to use, on-the-go CPD experience,” Sendur Kathir, Executive General Manager, College Transformation, said. “Our new app is designed to offer ease of navigation to the most in-demand features Fellows use to keep their CPD up-to-date.” Those who have used the app so far have only good things to say, especially about the ease of use of this app and the time it will save them. Associate Professor Kerin Fielding, orthopaedic surgeon and RACS Councillor said, “Like many surgeons I am constantly on the move and don’t always have easy access to a computer. The app means I can update my CPD when it is convenient for me, which will save me time when I am finalising my requirements at the end of the year.” Getting started is easy. The app is available within Microsoft Power Apps on the iOS App Store, the Google Play store, and Microsoft Windows store.
