The terms Continuing Medical Education (CME) and CPD have been used interchangeably in most of the countries. CPD is open to many interpretations and the term CME differs from CPD. However, there seems to be a lot of overlapping in the way CME and CPD are defined by the accreditation bodies. The regional guidelines on CME/CPD paper published by the WHO, define CPD as follows. “CPD is beyond clinical update, includes wide-range of competencies like research and scientific writing, multidisciplinary context of patient care, professionalism and ethical practice, communication, leadership, management and behavioural skills, team building, information technology, audit, and appropriate attitudinal change to ensure improved patient service and research outcomes and attainment of the highest degree of satisfaction by stakeholders. The ultimate goals of the programme are to reassure patients and the public that doctors remain competent, confident and compassionate throughout their career and to augment patient care outcome and satisfaction by setting standards for good medical practice” (WHO, 2010, p.1). CME is updating clinical knowledge only. Thus, CME is a component of CPD and CPD involves a wide range of skills required for medical practice.
