Over 50,000 doctors granted CPD exemption


KUALA LUMPUR: More than 50,000 registered doctors will be exempted from having to get at least 20 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points this year, which is one of the requirements for them to obtain their Annual Practising Certificate (APC) for next year.

Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) president Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said a special MMC meeting on April 14 decided to grant the waiver to doctors in view of special circumstances arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.
