CPD Unit or Continuing Professional Development Unit is learning to earn or maintain professional credentials such as academic degrees to formal coursework, conferences and informal learning opportunities situated in practice. It has been described as intensive and collaborative, ideally incorporating an evaluative stage. There are a variety of approaches to professional development, including consultation, coaching, communities of practice, lesson study, mentoring, reflective supervision and technical assistance.
On March 1, 2017, the Professional Regulation Commission released the Implementing Rules and Regulation of Republic Act 10912 or the CPD Act of 2016 dictating that all Filipino Registered Nurses must have 18 units of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs to renew their Professional Identification Cards starting July 2017.
Nurses may earn credit units through the accredited programs conducted by the CPD Council. In addition, seminars, conventions and programs held by the Philippine Nurses Association also have corresponding CPD Units.
Philippine- registered nurses who are outside the country may still earn CPD units through accredited chapters or affiliates of CPD providers.
