CPD

Each NZAGS Member is expected to maintain and update their annual CPD return on the RACS website.

For more information visit here.

RACS must allow non-fracs general surgeons access to the NZMC accredited CPD programme. There is a fee for this. The fee must be justifiable. The fees can be found here:

RACS runs a Maintenance of Professional Standards Program (MOPS) to assist non-fellows with their CPD compliance.

To confirm you are enrolled as a registrar and actively participating in an accredited vocational training programme your supervisor of training must complete the CPD7 form. Once you are conferred as a Fellow you will need to comply with the annual CPD requirements.

If you are going overseas for a Fellowship you will need to submit a wriiten letter of exemption to the Department of Professional Standards at RACS.
