set and successfully complete any assessments during that probational period as set by the Medical Board and/or Specialty College and/or teaching hospital or clinic, prior to been eligible for General or Specialist registration. Education of junior doctors (that is, Interns to Residents to Registrars) is typically arranged on a regular basis by the hospital at which these clinicians work at and are facilitated by the senior staff specialist clinicians, as well as a proportion of self-directed learning in their own time. The forms of education can include but not limited to: Formal lectures and teaching sessions Case presentations Informal bedside teaching Research and clinical trials Morbidity and mortality ("M&M") meetings Grand Rounds Clinical skill workshops and courses Journal club Simulations Committees Audits Education of fellowship qualified General Practitioners and Consultants, is typically facilitated by the relevant specialty medical college; with each college having its own CPD program. Similarly, Hospitalists and Registrars financially enrolled in the college as non-fellow or trainee members may also partake in the CPD program and educational activities, some of which are highly recommended or mandatory. Most specialty colleges use a points-based system to keep track of the clinician's CPD obligations for each year, with each specific activity attracting a certain number of points (for instance, attending a conference or workshop may be worth 3 CPD points, whereas reading a journal article and completing the online quiz may be worth 1 CPD point). There are certain education modules that are mandatory for specialists and their trainee-registrars, and others which are optionally recommended to be completed at the preference of the clinician. Mandatory education activities typically require the clinician to participate in activities that ensures ongoing up-to-date competency and receive feedback on core skills and clinical knowledge related to their scope of practice. These typically include: Ensuring up-to-date first aid and resuscitation skills certification; such as, CPR, ALS, APLS, EMST (ATLS), et cetera Ensuring an up-to-date logbook of core skills and procedures; such as, performing at least 3 endotracheal intubations annually Participating in a clinical audit of patients seen by the clinician or colleagues within their department Participating in a performance review and receiving feedback from a senior colleague In addition to the above hospital-based education already mentioned, additional forms of self-directed education include such activities as: Participating as an attendee or instructor at workshops and courses Subscription to journals including online educational resources Conferences or seminars Academic
