Area of Science:

  • Healthcare professional education
  • Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditation

Background:

  • Global CPD accreditation systems are evolving to enhance healthcare provider competence and organizational performance.
  • Learner needs are best met through diverse, relevant, and accessible CPD activities and formats.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a core set of principles for determining substantive equivalency between international CPD accreditation systems.
  • To facilitate learner mobility and maximize the value of CPD accreditation while minimizing compliance burdens.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of how five diverse CPD accreditation systems (USA, Canada, Qatar) express core principles.
  • Examination of differing focuses (activity-based vs. provider-based), contexts, and cultures within these systems.

Main Results:

  • Identification of common values and metrics across different CPD accreditation systems.
  • Demonstration of how these principles are applied in practice across varied international contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Substantive equivalency is valuable for learners, medical regulators, and CPD accreditation systems.
  • Establishing core principles supports a more unified and accessible global CPD landscape.
