In reference to the Mandatory CME/CPD participation policy that was implemented in 7^th March 2016 and the National CME/CPD Framework, please be informed that healthcare practitioners will not be granted credit units for presenting in formal teaching activities (e.g. lecturing or presenting in CME/CPD activities). However, they will be granted two credits for each hour they spend in learning new knowledge and/or skills during preparation for such activities. Presenters/speakers/faculty will not record the total time spent in preparing for teaching or presenting but should only record the portion of time they spent in learning new knowledge and/or skills during preparation of their presentations or teaching materials. They can claim credits under Category 2 - Self-Directed Learning Activities, Education and Training, Preparation for formal teaching activities.
