RANZCR Welcomes the Medical Community to Join its CPD Home

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) is pleased to announce it has received initial accreditation as a CPD home from the Australian Medical Council (AMC) and welcomes the medical community to join RANZCR as their CPD home.

With a long standing and proven track record of supporting the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs for the specialties of clinical radiology and radiation oncology, RANZCR invites medical specialists and health care professionals who are working in related fields of medical imaging, image guided intervention, and cancer care to nominate RANZCR as their CPD home.

To support the wider medical community to join RANZCR’s CPD home, the College has launched RANZCR’s Associate Membership structure.

RANZCR President, Clin A/Prof Sanjay Jeganathan said, ‘Establishing RANZCR as a CPD home and the introduction of the Associate Membership provides a smooth pathway for the medical community who have an interest in medical imaging, image guided interventions and cancer care to enhance their professional development.

‘I am proud to introduce RANZCR as a CPD home and look forward to expanding our college network to include our new Associate Members. We are confident in providing high-quality learning and networking opportunities for all Members. This new type of membership will bring the medical community together via our CPD program.’

From January 2024, all doctors who hold medical registration with the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) will be required to nominate a CPD home. RANZCR’s CPD program fully aligns with the requirements detailed in the MBA’s 2023 Continuing Professional Development Registration Standard, enabling all CPD program participants to meet their MBA registration requirements with ease.

RANZCR has delivered a seamless transition to the new requirements for CPD set by MBA and Medical Council of New Zealand with 2022 as a transition year for our members. RANZCR introduced some of the new CPD requirements and proudly launched the CPD ePortfolio, its online platform for members to record and track their progress. The transition year was well received by members, allowing the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the enhanced CPD program and the new CPD ePortfolio platform.
