Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing Professional Developments (CPD) is a program that
contributes to the accumulation of knowledge, skills and experience that can
enhance the professionalism of healthcare
in their respective fields. This approach is important because the field
of medicine is constantly evolving with the latest research and discoveries
that require healthcare professionals to continuously improve their knowledge
in line with the progress made in order to provide the best and most current
medical care to the community.
MOH has developed an online CPD monitoring system known as
the myCPD system. The system allows optometrists and other healthcare
professionals to record their CPD activities in an online logbook.
MyCPD system has been used by MOH since 2007 and has been
upgraded to myCPD2.0 since 2017. Now, the system also be extended to private
optometry practitioners.
CPD credit points for
Annual Practice Certificate (APC) renewal
Although the use of CPD credit points for the renewal of APC
for optometrist and optician has not been enforced at this time, Malaysian
Optical Council still encourages all registered optometry practitioners to
register as users in the myCPD2.0 system to record all CPD activities in the logbook.
It is to ensure that optometry practitioners in Malaysia are always competent
and excellent in providing quality and safe healthcare to the people.
