CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development
There are a number of websites that offer opportunities to obtain CPD credits in various categories.
One of the best is the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation (US based) which has excellent articles in its newsletters. View a list of highly recommended articles.
A series of M and M Questions have been compiled on this website. (AnaesthesiaCases plans to publish sample answers in the near future).
