Below are details — including abstracts — of all 17 papers referenced by the Medical Board of Australia in support of its changes to mandatory CPD.

We have given dates for publication, the journal titles and a brief description of the type of study used and whether it involved doctors and specifically doctors in Australia.

As you will see, there are few studies listed focused on whether mandatory CPD in the form used by the board improves doctors’ patient outcomes or reduced doctor complaints.

We have provided links to the full studies where possible — however many are behind a paywall.
