Professionalism in 21st Century Medical Practice

RCSI has developed an online course “Professionalism in 21st Century Medical Practice” which is aimed at medical doctors in all specialties. The course is based on the Medical Council’s “Guide to Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Medical Practitioners” and is presented in an interesting and engaging format.

 

There are 12 online modules covering different aspects of Medical Professionalism and each module can attract 5 CPD credits. An online introductory video (5-7 minutes per module) is supported by a Learning Resource Area which contains carefully selected reading materials and videos related to the subject matter of the module.

 

On completion of the reading and viewing tasks, you can take a MCQ test to earn your CPD points and even print your own certificate!

 

The course is designed to be accessed on any mobile device, which means that it can be accessed anytime and anywhere. You may study the modules in any order and at your own pace. This online course on Professionalism will be available to all registered medical doctors in Ireland.
