For a comprehensive list of recommended CAPE activities to meet your requirements, please review the CAPE Learning Activities Guide document located in Integrate.
Program level requirements are activities that facilitate professional development across the breadth of medical practice. Engagement in these activities should include opportunities for reflection on your own biases and attitudes, to help you understand how these can impact patient care.
To meet your program level requirements you will need to engage in activities for:
Cultural Safety
Healthcare that respects cultural perspectives and needs, creating an inclusive environment. Addresses power imbalances and promotes cultural safety.
Addressing Health Inequities
Recognising and reducing disparities in health outcomes and access. Focuses on social determinants, policy advocacy, and interventions for marginalised populations.
Professionalism
Practitioners’ conduct and attitudes aligned with standards and ethics. Includes integrity, accountability, communication, teamwork, and upholding ethical principles.
Ethical Practice
Morally informed decisions in healthcare, considering patient rights, values, autonomy, and wellbeing. Informed consent, confidentiality, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice is prioritised.
Select professional development to fit in with your work, lifestyle and learning preferences with the wide range of benefits of the RANZCOG CPD Home.
