RANZCR: Your CPD Home

You may be aware the College has made a number of changes to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program in the past couple of years. These changes are the result of the changes made to the CPD registration requirements made by both the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) and Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ). CPD is not just changing in our professions of clinical radiology and radiation oncology, but for doctors of every area of specialty practice.

You might be asking ‘what does this all mean?’. Well fortunately the College has been navigating these changes for some time now, and is set up and ready to be your CPD home. The College is accredited as a CPD home by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) with our College CPD program designed to align to the scopes of practice for clinical radiology, radiation oncology but also have the flexibility to support other specialist areas.
