THIS TALK WAS PRESENTED LIVE DURING THE INAUGURAL MEDD LIVE 2020 VIRTUAL MEDICAL CONFERENCE

Using Multi-Source Feedback (MSF) as a significant component of your CPD requirements. Presented by Associate Professor Michael Greco.

Abstract:

• The Medical Board of Australia(MBA) is revamping Continuing Professional Development (CPD) through its Professional Performance Framework to ensure that all Medical Colleges align their CPD framework to 50 hours per year, and that at least 25% of activity must fall within each of 3 categories – educational activities, reviewing performance and measuring outcomes.
• In light of this, Michael Greco will provide an overview of Multi-Source Feedback (MSF), a highly recommended activity as outlined in the MBA’s Professional Performance Framework.
• MSF includes three aspects:

• 1. Structured Patient Feedback (focuses on communication/interpersonal skills and is a ‘measuring outcomes’ activity).
  2. Structured Colleague feedback (focuses on professionalism, and is a ‘reviewing performance’ activity)
  3. Self-assessment.

• A key component of MSF is self-reflection on the results to enable personal and professional development, and best practice involves discussion of your results with a trusted colleague.
