Testimonials

CPD

“CPD is an important part of being a surgeon. We need to ensure that we keep abreast of the latest clinical developments in our speciality so that we provide the best care for our patients. It is also important that we evaluate our own practice and ensure that we meet our Audit requirements. RACS CPD home is the only CPD home run specifically for surgeons and ensures that our continuing practice meets APHRA standards,” Dr Pecky De Silva, FRACS, Vascular and Endovascular surgeon. 

CPD

“RACS Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program has been pivotal in maintaining and enhancing my surgical expertise. Through the high-quality CPD program at RACS, I’ve remained confident throughout my career that I’m providing my patients with the safest and most advanced methods of surgical care. I’m grateful for the knowledge I continue to gain that keeps me at the forefront of my profession. I value that I can speak with the RACS CPD team and be guided by the well-informed staff,” Dr Christine Lai, FRACS, General Surgeon, Chair Professional Standards and Fellowship Services Committee.
