MDBriefCase, a Think Research company, specialises in accredited, online continuing professional development (CPD) courses for healthcare professionals, custom-tailored for specific international markets and available on a convenient online platform.
L'ensemble du contenu est développé par des spécialistes de premier plan et évalué par des experts d'institutions respectées, ce qui permet à plus de 280 000 professionnels de la santé du monde entier de rester à la pointe des dernières preuves et protocoles dans le monde entier.
All courses are accredited by respected institutions such as the UK Federation of the Royal College of Physicians. CPD providers are responsible for ensuring the scientific validity, objectivity and completeness of these activities.
Specific accrediting information (including the accrediting body, along with the type and number of credits) can be found on the “Main” page and/or “Accreditation” page of each course. In order to qualify for accreditation and obtain your certificate, you must successfully complete the requirements listed on the “Accreditation” or “CPD Information” pages available in each course.
No. If you have previously registered directly with MDBriefCase, those credentials will only work on the global MDBriefCase.com website.
To access the courses specifically designed and tailored for BMA members, you must log in using your BMA credentials. This ensures you are recognised as a member and granted access to the exclusive curriculum.
Currently, these accredited courses were funded by the MDBriefCase and BMA partnership. In future, some of these accredited courses will be funded using unrestricted education grants. Unrestricted education grants are the provision of funds provided by companies and organisations (e.g. pharmaceutical, medical device, charitable trusts, or public bodies). The funding is given in the form of an unrestricted educational grant so that the content and structure of the courses are completely independent of the organisation providing the funding.
This service will disclose unrestricted education grants in line with the UK Federation of the Royal College of Physicians’ policy on the Involvement of pharmaceutical companies, device companies and other commercial organisations providing healthcare products.
