Advance your practice with CPD programs, courses, and resources designed for medical scientists at every stage of their career. Stay informed, enhance your expertise, and support your ongoing professional growth.
Continuing professional development is a cornerstone of safe, evidence-based medical science practice. The IMS supports members to meet their CPD obligations with a structured program that is recognised by health employers, regulators, and registration bodies across Australia.
IMS CPD is built around three learning categories: educational activities (courses, webinars, conferences), self-directed learning (reading, research, workplace reflection), and practice review (audit, peer review, quality improvement activities). Members can log all activity types through the IMS member portal and generate a CPD statement at any time.
