Participation in this program is compulsory for all Fellows who are responsible for the clinical care of patients. Every year there will be a random audit of the returns of Fellows for one of the preceding years. Fellows will be selected at random and asked to provide documentation to support the information supplied for their re-certification. A Certificate of Continuing Professional Standards will be awarded annually.

Definition

The Continuing Professional Development and Re-certification Program is the process conducted by the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine which requires Fellows/Members to demonstrate that they have maintained proper professional standards of knowledge and performance for the period under review.

The Goal

The goal of the Program is to enable Fellows/Members to demonstrate that they are engaged in the minimum/maximum range of activities which will assist them to improve their knowledge and skills and so provide their patients with quality health care.

The Program

There are three facets to the Continuing Professional Development and Re-certification Program. Each of these facets is required to be satisfied in order for a biennial Certificate of Professional Standards to be issued to the Fellow/Member of the College.

The three facets are:

  1. Patient Audit and Peer Review.
     
  2. Credentialling at a hospital which is accredited by the Australian Council on Health Care Standards, or is a hospital or day surgery centre approved by the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine.
     
  3. Continuing Medical Education
