  • Teaching others (includes clinical teaching)
  • Conference presentation / Workshop leader / Expert panellist
  • Publication in a recognised journal (including case studies/letters to the Editor)
  
B

  • Conference attendance / Workshop participation
  • Further education (degree upgrade)
  • Journal subscription and completion of assessment tasks
  • Web education and completion of web based assessment tasks
  • Clinic visit for educational purpose
  
C

  • Accessing relevant educational audio/visual material: eg watching relevant Video/DVD or listening to relevant CD/Cassette
  • Accessing reputable educational web pages of recognised source eg AAPOS
  

The CPE Program Guideline outlines types of activities that may be undertaken and the corresponding points allocation. You are invited to propose a specific activity or activity type for inclusion.

The CPE system will be reviewed and weightings and/or categories may be changed in due course.
