Departmental CPD Activities

Continuing Professional Development is fortunate to have a dedicated group of continuing education directors and leaders committed to providing high quality CPD programs. With 15 Departmental CPD Directors and more than 500 course directors, a wide range of programs are offered to meet the diverse needs of our learners.
