What is CPD? Why CPD? Our story History Impact Challenges Plans

What is CPD ? “A lifelong journey of learning” “The means to help people succeed and go on succeeding”

Why CPD ? Needs analysis- from Faculty members Gap analysis-NCAAA Standards Accreditation by Saudi Council for Health Specialties

Certification

Self assessment – gap analysis NCAAA Standards 4 ,6,9 : (Learning and teaching, Learning resources, Employment processes) SWOT analysis Strength CPD programs are being conducted on a regular basis. Weakness Scarcity of scientific research related to social accountability. Opportunity Abundant information resources in the field of health education . Threat Inadequate appreciation of the faculty staff by the relevant stakeholders.

How to cover the gaps? CPD: Before the staff member starts his work. Include part time staff . Assess not only the attendance . Cater for staff with professional difficulties . Cover learning resources also. Up-to-date ! Measure effectiveness. Control the participation of the staff.

Faculty development :- Strategic Plan(2012-2016). Goal 5- Competencies of the teaching staff . Provide effective orientation course Competencies of the teaching staff Goal 7- Developing scientific research Scientific research projects Training courses and programs Jazan medical alumni Goal 8- Developing the community services -social accountability Special programs for the teaching staff

Therefore , we have a responsibility towards developing the skills of the health professionals within and outside the faculty (MOH ).
