Dear Members,
Our College has received a number
of feedbacks from members on difficulties in attending
CME/CPD events due to social events in 2019 and
also COVID-19 pandemic.
Members’ difficulties
have been acknowledged by our College Council. Having taken into account HKAM
prevailing practice, the QA&A Committee as instructed by our College
Council has formulated an one-off special remedial programme for
members who have failed to fulfil the CME & CPD requirement for QA
Certificate for 2017-19 under these very unusual
circumstances.
The requirement for QA
certificate is summarised as follows:
1.
A minimum
of 90 points in total, including at least 30 CPD points.
2.
A maximum
of 45 credit points will be counted for each category (3, 4, 5) of educational
activities
3.
Participants
must engage in ALL categories of activities
Interested members please take note of the key points on this“Special Remedial Programme for HKCFP QA Certificate 2017 - 2019”as follows:
1. The CME programme for
specialists managed by HKAM, and the CME programme for non-specialists managed
by MCHK are two CME systems different from HKCFP’s CME/QA programme.
2. The Special Remedial
Programme is ONLY applicable to
accreditation for HKCFP QA certificate 2017-2019;
2. The completion date of
the programme is 6 MONTHS from 1 January 2020 i.e. by 30 June 2020;
3. Joining
the Special Remedial Programme is on voluntary basis, upon
application and approval by QA&A Committee by the date specified
as below. Retrospective approval will NOT be
entertained.
4. A member shall be deemed
to have fulfilled CME & CPD requirement for the HKCFP QA Certificate
2017-19 once he/she has obtained the minimally required
points within the completion date. Any points collected thereafter within
this period will be automatically counted under the next
cycle. No CME/CPD points will be double counted in both cycles.
Interested members who wish to join the“Special Remedial Programme for HKCFP QA certificate 2017-2019”, please notify us by writing to our College secretariat Mr John Ma at cmecpd@hkcfp.org.hk by 27 April 2020 (Monday), the latest.
