A few weeks ago Dr Pam Rachootin was asking a simple question that thousands of GPs may well be asking themselves.

Can they divorce the RACGP?

Or more precisely, can they fulfil their CPD requirements for medical registration and access to Medicare without paying the college $945 a year to take part in its CPD program?

Dr Rachootin raised the issue in an opinion column for Australian Doctor after being sent an invoice demanding she hand over the cash for this year’s “CPD participation”.
