About the ACRRM Professional Development Program (PDP)

The ACRRM Professional Development Program (PDP) reflects the high priority that ACRRM places on continuing professional development.

The PDP demonstrates ACRRM's commitment to ensuring that rural and remote doctors are able to maintain and enhance their performance and competence throughout their careers and, in turn, deliver high quality care to their patients. The PDP recognises the need for seamless, vertical integration with stages of training undertaken before Fellowship and has formulated its content and process accordingly.

Also open to members of other colleges.
 
ACRRM recognises that many of its members are also Fellows of other medical colleges and may have multiple and various levels of recognition and certification requirements to maintain. So as not to overburden rural medical practitioners, ACRRM has allowed for substantial cross-accreditation of education with similar programs run by other medical colleges, joint consultative committees and other educational programs. Indeed, other college members can use the ACRRM PDP to assist with training, CME and quality assurance.

The ACRRM Professional Development Committee is responsible for assessing and approving these programs.
