RANZCR - Your CPD Home

The RANZCR Continuing Professional Development Program aligns with the Medical Board of Australia’s (MBA) CPD registration standard and Medical Council of New Zealand’s (MCNZ) recertification requirements.

All RANZCR Fellows and educational affiliates are required to participate in an annual CPD program, of which the RANZCR CPD program assists members in meeting this regulatory requirement.

If you are looking for a CPD home, RANZCR’s CPD program for clinical radiology and radiation oncology members also caters for other affiliated health professionals whose scope of practice aligns and are eligible to join the RANZCR CPD program as a RANZCR Associate.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program

To comply with the requirements of the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) and the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ), RANZCR provides a CPD Program for members. 

The RANZCR CPD Program is a self-directed and self-reporting program and has been developed under the leadership of the Clinical Radiology Professional Practice Committee and the Radiation Oncology Professional Practice Committee. Fellows, Educational Affiliates and CPD Participants record and report on their CPD activities annually and are responsible for selecting activities appropriate for their continuing professional development and for claiming CPD.

If you wish to become an Educational Affiliate and join the RANZCR CPD program, please refer to the Membership page for further information and to check if you are eligible.

RANZCR CPD Program for 2023

The College has updated the RANZCR CPD program to align with the Medical Board of Australia and Medical Council of New Zealand CPD reforms. The updated CPD program was launched in January 2022 on the RANZCR ePortfolio and the full requirements commenced as of 1 January 2023 in line with the MBA Continuing Professional Development Registration Standard. 

The RANZCR ePortfolio enables members to record CPD hours, view their compliance to date and download certificates (e.g., confirming CPD participation). The ePortfolio is mobile friendly and interactive, allowing members to log their CPD activities and upload evidence from a smartphone or tablet. To access the ePortfolio please click on the Member Login button in the top right of the RANZCR website page and select RANZCR ePortfolio.
