Our experience with Continuous Professional Development CPD Program

Our experience with Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Jazan University Dr. Kunnel Antony Zacharias Associate Professor Head, Dept. of Obstetrics & Gynaecology Head, Continuous Development Committee Faculty of Medicine Jazan University

What is CPD? Why CPD? Our story History Impact Challenges Plans

What is CPD ? “A lifelong journey of learning” “The means to help people succeed and go on succeeding”

Why CPD ? Needs analysis- from Faculty members Gap analysis-NCAAA Standards Accreditation by Saudi Council for Health Specialties

Certification

Self assessment – gap analysis NCAAA Standards 4 , 6, 9 : (Learning and teaching, Learning resources, Employment processes) SWOT analysis Strength CPD programs are being conducted on a regular basis. Weakness Scarcity of scientific research related to social accountability. Opportunity Abundant information resources in the field of health education. Threat Inadequate appreciation of the faculty staff by the relevant stakeholders.

How to cover the gaps? CPD: Before the staff member starts his work. Include part time staff. Assess not only the attendance. Cater for staff with professional difficulties. Cover learning resources also. Up-to-date ! Measure effectiveness. Control the participation of the staff.

Faculty development : - Strategic Plan(2012 -2016). Goal 5 - Competencies of the teaching staff. Provide effective orientation course Competencies of the teaching staff Goal 7 - Developing scientific research Scientific research projects Training courses and programs Jazan medical alumni Goal 8 - Developing the community services -social accountability Special programs for the teaching staff

Therefore , we have a responsibility towards developing the skills of the health professionals within and outside the faculty (MOH ).
