One of the most important aspects of practising medicine anywhere in the world is to update the knowledge and skills of clinical medicine. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is not only updating the knowledge and skills, but also improving teaching, communication and managerial skills.

The practice of radiology changes according to the need of the clinical medicine. As radiologists, we need to be on the edge of the technology to deliver high quality diagnostic and interventional knowledge and skills. It is also about attitudes and values of practising radiology.

In West, CPD is mandatory for all health care professionals. For example, in the UK, all consultants are required to earn 250 CPD points in 5 years by attending various courses and conferences. The Royal College of Radiologists of the UK has published extensive guidelines for the radiologists practising in the UK.
