Practical AI guidance for Australian doctors doing CPD
Step-by-step workflows, tested prompts, and governance guidance for using AI tools in CPD learning and documentation. From a doctor who uses them every day.
What you will find here
Written by a doctor
A medical officer with over 20 years of experience in intensive care and anaesthetics, using these tools for his own CPD every day.
Governance built in
Every workflow covers de-identification, data handling, and what to check before you submit. No patient-identifiable information enters an AI tool at any point.
CPD only, not clinical AI
This covers CPD learning and documentation only. Not clinical decision support, not diagnosis, not patient-specific recommendations. That is a different domain with different risks.
What AI can help you with in CPD
The same CPD activities you already do, with AI handling the organising and structuring so you can focus on the thinking.
Reflective writing
Turn a clinical experience into a structured reflection your CPD home expects, while the learning is still fresh.
Learning plans
Identify gaps, set objectives, and draft a learning plan that is specific enough to actually guide your year.
Literature digestion
Summarise journal articles and guideline updates, extracting the points most relevant to your practice.
Practice improvement
Document changes you have made to your practice and organise evidence for audit preparation.
Conference and podcast notes
Process notes or transcripts from talks into structured learning points with reflections.
Self-assessment and peer discussion
Generate questions to test your knowledge or prepare for a peer review conversation.
