FAQ

What is CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. In 2015, the Malaysian Veterinary Council (MVC) has appointed Malaysian Veterinary Medical Association (MAVMA) to be the coordinator for the assessment and to award CPD point for any related event to the veterinary fraternity in Malaysia.

Why is the Malaysian Veterinary Council (MVC) Insisting that registered veterinary surgeons show evidence of CPD before it will grant the APC [Annual Practice Certificate]?

The Guiding Principle of CPD is that all Veterinary Surgeons must, for the betterment of their professional standing, keep up with ever-growing knowledge and developments relevant to their fields of practice.
