We begin this year with one of the most important topics for General Practitioners in 2024: what are the Continuous Professional Development requirements for doctors and how have they changed?

Our special guest is Rachel White who is the Managing Director for the Australian Medical CPD Standards (AMcpdS) who has over twenty years supporting high quality medical education. We discuss the yearly requirements for doctors, component breakdown and what has changed.

This is the story of CPD for 2024.

And here is a summary of CPD requirements, supplied by Rachel.

We are also thrilled to announce that 6 of our genetics episodes from our catalogue (‘genetics module’) have been approved for official CPD hours for General Practitioners. These episodes are:

• Episode 10: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH)
• Episode 15: Lynch syndrome
• Episode 21: Marfan syndrome
• Episode 30 & Episode 31: BrCa (Breast Cancer genes)
• Episode 40: Carrier screening

Register with us on our website (https://thismedicallife.com.au/) and we will send you a certificate to lodge with your CPD home to claim 5.75 hours when you have listened to them.

We have also registered with https://www.patreon.com/ThisMedicalLife where you can subscribe for free to get a short update when new episodes are published, or make a one-off or regular contribution to help fund this work, which is being created without any outside funding support.

With your support, we hope to accredit more of our episodes in the future. Thank you to all of our listeners.
