RANZCOG Pacific CPD Program

From 2003-2006, RANZCOG conducted a CPD program for O&G Specialists in Pacific islands as a pilot program. This was funded by a seeding grant provided by the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO). The pilot program was supported by funding from AusAid for three years until 2006, and concluded 2006/2007.

Following the success of the pilot program and adoption of a new RANZCOG Constitution (Nov 2006) and new RANZCOG Regulations (March 2007), Pacific O&G Specialists are now able to apply for Associate Membership of RANZCOG and undertake the new RANZCOG CPD Program for Associate Members in the Pacific.

Associate Membership RANZCOG requires payment of an annual subscription fee and satisfactory participation in the RANZCOG CPD Program for Associate Members in the Pacific.
