AI for CPD: A Practical Guide for Australian Medical Practitioners

Most Australian doctors now use AI tools in some part of their work. Few are using them for CPD — and those who are often do it without a clear method or an understanding of where the risks sit.

This book fills that gap.

AI for CPD covers nine CPD use cases in detail: reflective writing, learning plans, literature digestion, practice improvement, case-based learning, conference notes, peer discussion preparation, exam preparation, and end-of-year CPD summaries. Each chapter includes a step-by-step workflow, tested example prompts you can adapt immediately, common pitfalls, and governance notes covering privacy, de-identification, and audit readiness.

The book is built around the CPR-D method — Capture, Process, Refine, Document — a four-step framework that keeps your clinical judgment in the loop at every stage.

Written by a practising Australian doctor for practising Australian doctors. No technical background required. No clinical AI, no patient data, no shortcuts that would undermine your professional integrity.

What's included:

• PDF edition — optimised for reading on screen and printing
• EPUB edition — optimised for e-readers and mobile devices

Who this is for:

Practising clinicians doing mandatory CPD — junior doctors, registrars, fellows, consultants, GPs, and CMOs. Particularly useful for anyone who finds CPD documentation time-consuming or who wants to make better use of the AI tools they already have access to.
